A review by neilrcoulter
Black and White by David Macaulay

5.0

I love when an author can subvert the picture-book format and make something unexpected and intriguing out of it. My favorite example is Chris Van Allsburg’s The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, and David Macauley’s Black and White is now another favorite. The book invites multiple ways of reading and rereading, and though it suggests connections among all the stories presented, there is no twist or reveal at the end that gives The Answer. Such fun!
