An innovative format and breathtaking concept meet in this trip around the world and back again. This 32-page book fan folds out into a single panorama that takes the reader from India to Ecuador and from Iceland to Romania. Each natural scene seamlessly runs into the next, incorporating each area’s natural beauty and indigenous wildlife. On the reverse of the fanfold, the same scenes and locations are shown at night. It’s a beautiful and memorable look at the world from differing perspectives, eye-catching and completely unique.
 

From Amazon Reviews:

This book is amazing, especially for infants. we would expand the panorama around our daughter when she was weeks old and she would just marvel at the images around her. the contrasting colors were totally captivating for her. now that she's bigger she likes to point to the images. i can't wait until she can read along with us. i also can't wait until we can take her to all of these fabulous places!

I found out about this book from a good friend on facebook, who posted a photo of her infant daughter surrounded by the accordian-like pages... My kids ADORE Panorama. They have been coloring this gorgeous 8 foot long mural for the past three hours, asking lots of great questions about the animals and landscape, and it will definitely be a keep sake when they are done :)
