I love so much that Dave Eggers is writing children’s books. This one has a wordy title but otherwise minimal text with each page being a beautifully illustrated image of different areas of the earth (taiga, foothills, ridge. etc.). A white tiger with a chair strapped to its back and a bird explore each natural phenomenon; the chair seems inexplicable and it would be fun to ask kids halfway through why they think it’s carrying it. While most of the images are self-explanatory, there is a helpful glossary at the end. I would like a print of every single page!
