The title says it all: Several hundreds of things are on display here, divided into 17 categories, among them \u201cSchool Time,\u201d \u201cSports and Recreation,\u201d and \u201cHousehold Items.\u201d Each section of this Chilean import contains 30 to 40 items over one or two double-page spreads. Hanisch\u2019s mixed-media depictions are clear, simple, and immensely appealing, each object or animal neatly labeled in an accessible serif font. Individual drawings nestle together, inviting close browsing, and a few conversation-sparking questions accompany every category: \u201cSo many ways to travel! Which is fastest? Which is slowest?\u201d Diversity of experience is acknowledged; the \u201cMeal Time\u201d section includes paella, sushi, ceviche, and a cheese board, while a mosque, a synagogue, a church, and a Buddhist temple appear \u201cIn the City.\u201d There\u2019s some overlap among the hundreds of items: An all-purpose \u201cflower\u201d appears \u201cIn the Garden,\u201d while the colorful section \u201cFlowers\u201d offers many more varieties, such as a tiger lily, a rose, and a sunflower. And a generic \u201cshark\u201d appears \u201cAt the Beach,\u201d while a \u201cwhale shark\u201d can be found among the sampling of ocean dwellers in the \u201cAnimal World.\u201d Some things are nonspecific (“owl,” for instance, in \u201cBirds\u201d), while others are identified in more detail (Magellanic penguin). Rather than providing a comprehensive visual dictionary, Hanisch offers a charming quick take on a lot of, well, things in this browsable, relatable catalog.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
