About this deal

This is a fascinating and high engaging activity is based on the picture books “Zoom” by Istvan Banyai which consist of 30 sequential “pictures within pictures”. The team is tasked with putting the pictures in the correct sequence. Each person is given an image but is not allowed to show anyone else the image, using only communications and descriptive language the team have to figure out the correct sequence. ZOOM by Istvan Banyai is a book that takes readers on an interesting and fun journey. It allows readers to zoom in and zoom out of the story and images and try to figure out what they are seeing and once readers think they know what they see, they have to guess again because nothing is as it seems and there’s nothing readers can do but hang on and enjoy the story.

You can make the activity more competitive and measure team performance by the number of images that are in the wrong sequence. This being said, after several large “reveals,” I became disappointed because all of the zoom outs continued to bring the reader out of another printed medium. Only the final reveal leaves the printed world behind.Welcome to the International Reading Association". Reading.org. 18 March 2014. Archived from the original on 24 February 2009 .

Banyai died from lung cancer at a hospital in West Harrison, New York, on 15 December 2022, at the age of 73. [1] Books [ edit ]

Preview Book

This ‘zooming out’ technique is beautifully sustained in Zoom and the transition from picture to picture is smooth and elegant, with plenty of clues to suggest the next switch of scale – for example a giant hand appearing at the edge of a piece of paper, or the outline of a bus window creeping into the top of a frame. As the book progresses the reader is drawn through a series of complex images, including from a toy farm to a magazine front cover; from a cruise ship advertisement to a TV image; from an Arizona postage stamp to a beach in Solomon Island, Australia; to a plane flying over to the island to the wider ocean; and finally from a swirl of blue and white as the earth appears a spherical ball in space to a tiny dot in the universe. Zoom spread In 1995, Banyai produced his first wordless children's book, Zoom. [1] Honored as one of the best children's books of the year by The New York Times and Publishers Weekly, Zoom was soon published in 18 languages. [ citation needed] He went on to author four more books and illustrate many more in collaboration with other writers and poets. "It's refreshing to encounter a group of virtually wordless books that invite children to consider their world from a point of view they may not have otherwise considered. The most stunning is Zoom, written—or, rather, imagined and then illustrated—by Istvan Banyai." [2]

This wordless picture book starts with an image and continues to "zoom" out, showing that what you see could turn into something else completely.

Alternatively, you can create your own set of sequential images that tell a story. Each image should be on one sheet of paper (you can laminate them so that they last more than one session). The number of images should match the number of participants. If you’re in a pinch, you may be able to find Zoom and Re-Zoom as images online, but if you’re planning for a later session, please support the author by buying his books!)
