Look-Alikes Jr.
November 24, 2009
This post isn’t exactly about what’s been happening to our house as much as what’s been happening IN our house. Namely, the sublime book Look-Alikes Jr. by Joan Steiner, that Lil brought home from the library this week.
Every spread features an unbelievable tableau of household objects mixed with dollhouse props to create different ordinary but amazing scenes. Take the living room, one of our faves. A slice of kiwi for a chair seat! A binder clip and cinnamon sticks are fireplace logs on the mini hearth! Dried lasagna strips are the curtains! We keep finding new surprises with every sit-down with this little dream of a book, so I want to have one in our permanent collection.
If you’re not clicking through to order for Christmas right now…I’ll assume you’re just waiting for Black Friday. Check out her other titles, too.
(Mart, this has Calder written alll over it.)

love this book, we have a couple of them. I discovered them just as the I Spy books became popular in our house…perfect books for boring car rides!
