Book Description
Step into the color zone...where cool effects are the rule and nothing is what it first appears to be. Colors can always fool you—making objects seem larger, smaller, faster, or even better looking than they really are. And, when they interact with a range of very special forms and shapes, the optical magic becomes more powerful still. Just try one out and see if you can tell what’s going on.

A book you will geniunely enjoy.......2003-01-14
I noticed that a previous reviewer gives Colorful Illusions as a frequent gift. I do too! The book is a skillful blend of art book, puzzle book, gift book and educational book (but don't tell my children!). We learned a little about how colors can trick your eyes and we enjoy going back and forth over the puzzles. Very artistic, not at all your usual black and white slap-dash illusion book. It is really a book of art. I was also attracted to the easy-to-follow writing, I think Aki Nurosi is a genuine talent and my family looks forward to more books.
I really love Colorful Illusions.......2002-02-13
This is a fun and pretty and easy to read book. You should see all the ways that colors can fool you. I was amazed!
Best homework assignment.......2001-12-01
My teacher had us read ColorfulIllusions for an assignment and we didn't know what to think until we started reading it. The book is really pretty and really fun to use and figure out the puzzles and it's just so plain and simple and nice to read. You should read the book and try the puzzles and buy it on Amazon. com and you will see what I mean!
My mom and me read this book together.......2001-06-10
My mom and me love Colorful Illusions. I like how it has some really clever and interesting puzzles. My mom likes how it is teaching us interesting things about hwo color works. I did not know all the things that the book talks about. It is a very pretty and fun book. we never get tired of it!
Beautiful, beautiful book.......2001-05-17
I love this book. I look at it over and over again. It is very amazing.
Book Description
Each of these optical illusions is a masterpiece of colorful design, with visual tricks to confound the mind and please the eye. Just don’t trust anything you see at first glance, because it’s impossible to judge spatial relations, or even the subject of a picture, accurately. In some cases, the colors themselves deceive the eye, making objects seem larger, smaller, faster, or even better looking than they really are. Hold onto your hats—two fancy stovepipe hats, that is: are they taller than they are wide, wider than they are tall, or the same dimensions? Or try climbing the wild set of stairs: they’ll have you going in circles and in squares. There’s plenty of beautifully intriguing fun on these pages.
Book Description
A photograph can serve as as both witness and catalyst, art object and call to action. In this catalog of a pivotal exhibition of works from the Ralph R. Parsons Photography Collection at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, photographs capture the heartbeat and mindset of America. Works by French photographer Brassai set the stage; the bulk of the exhibition features photographs by Robert Frank, Helen Levitt , Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand, among others. When many of these works were first shown, they were met with criticism and outrage, but today, we've accepted them as profound documents of our nation and era. Includes essays by exhibition curator Cornelia H. Butler, as well as Max Kozloff, A.D. Coleman, Liz Kotz and Emily Aer. Dimension: 9 ¼ x 11 ½ inches, 125 duotone & 11 color reproductions, Exhibition Catalog.
Book Description
Mother Goose is a single mom who has to endure all of her pets' capers. No matter what, she loves Grimmy, the irrepressible bull terrier she thinks of as her baby.
Grimmy is a dog lover's dog. Happy-go-lucky, he's a bon vivant with a hefty appetite for fun, mischief, and yesterday's trash. He loves overindulging, chasing cars, and hanging out with his buddy, Attila.
Attila is the high-strung cat who lives with Mother Goose and Grimmy. Hardly living up to his namesake, Attila is an endearing mix of neurotic apprehension and clueless gullibility. Despite his vulnerabilities, Attila craves understanding and a playmate, and Grimmy is always ready to oblige his feline friend with some lively antics.
Mother Goose's eccentric household has entertained readers for 20 years. Distributed daily and on Sundays, Mother Goose and Grimm appears in more than 650 newspapers nationwide, boasts a readership of 100 million fans, and consistently ranks as a favorite strip in newspaper surveys.

Ultimate Mother Goose and Grimm: a 20 yr. treasury .......2007-02-13
I have been a fan of Mother Goose & Grimm since I ran across them some 15 years ago. This is an excellant introduction to their antics, and a reminder to those who have enjoyed them thru the years. It is interesting to note how the strip has changed and is still fun to read the older one's even after all this time. Thank you Mike Peters for giving me a smile in the morning.
Mike Peters, demented genius!.......2007-01-05
If you are a continuing fan or new to his work, Mike Peters' wacky, wonderful world of Mother goose and Grimm is sure to appeal to readers of all ages. My personal favorites are the enegry and craft of his drawings, spare but always a pleasure to look at (the man can draw, unlike sooooo many so called "comic strips" found in current newspapers) and he has one truely twisted sense of humor, now that alone should get you to read this book. I've changed newspapers to follow his cartoons, now you can get some of his best in a great oversized collection, which does them justice. Oh... and Grimm is my ideal dog, and every cats worst nightmare, what's not too love?
Great Fun.......2006-10-28
Any time I find life getting too serious, I just check in with Grimmy, and his antics are guaranteed to lighten my mood. Mike Peters has created a cast of lovably eccentric characters, and endless mischief for them to get into. Only one beef with the book... In the comic strips, one story line sometimes goes on for several strips, and those are usually the funniest ones. I would like to have seen those complete "series" in the book rather than just individual strips. Still, it's always good for a laugh.
Book Description
He's the Big Kahuna. The Top Banana. The Kings of the Heap!He's bold. He's dashing. He puts the pomp is pompous. More important: He's never met a leftover he wouldn't eat. He's Grimmy! Lord of the realm and master of all he surveys. Okay....so big deal if his kingdom is an alley and his castle a garbage can. Grimmy is the Henry VIII of canines. And his millions of bullish fans worldwide wouldn't have him any other way.Hail Grimmy! King of the Heap!
Customer Reviews:
FULL OF GOOD LAUGHS.......2000-09-25
The jokes are fast, furious, and really funny. The price of the book is worth it just for one particular comic strip... it's been years since I first read it, but I still get a hearty laugh every time I read the "St. Francis" gag.
Grimm is "The King of the (Trash) Heap"!.......2000-06-27
"Possibly the most informitive comic book ever written" -Me
"Five stars, three thumbs up" -Me

Customer Reviews:
Grimmy is the best.......2003-03-28
Grimmy's humor works both for the young and old. At times it is similar to Far Side and at other times it is like Calvin & Hobbes. As new dog owners, we appreciate the funny way Peters describes the behavior of dogs in a hilarious way.

Grimmy Pulls Through.......2000-11-12
In this newest installment of the hilariously funny comic strip Mother Goose and Grimm, pultizer-prize winning cartoonist Mike Peters pulls through again in this side-splitting collection. Iced with topical humor and the timeless Grimm one liners, this collection is a must for any MG&G fan. I also reccomend it to anyone who likes Citizen Dog, Foxtrot, or Calvin and Hobbes.

Grimmy Goes Postal.......2007-07-22
You either love "Mother Goose and Grimm" or you don't know "Mother Goose and Grimm." In-jokes galore, comic-strip surrealism to the max, an improbably unique Greek chorus-cum-Everyman in the person of Grimmy, and the incomparably droll Mother Goose combine for a highly recommended read. Just be careful about reading it on public transit or elevators--people will begin to wonder about you!

No Way!.......2004-12-03
I totally loved this book, but I can't believe someone would put that as their favorite part. Everyone knows that the best past was when Grimmy ate the food and then had bad breath.
AWESOME!.......2000-04-06
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A GREAT BOOK TO READ, GRIMMY IS ONE OF THE BEST THAT I HAVE EVER READ. IT IS FULL OF SURPRISES; EVERY TIME I READ IT I NOTICE SOMETHING NEW. IF YOU LIKE COMICS AND COMEDY THIS IS YOUR BOOK! THE BEST PART IS WHEN GRIMMY FINDS OUT IT'S SUPPER TIME. HE RUNS, AND TRIPS, AND FALLS INTO HIS DOG FOOD!
