Points of view and vantage points make this book unique. The opening page consists of the poem – Days Like This. When you the turn of the page, the first line of the poem is printed on the bottom of the left hand page in black ink and again on the right hand page in brown ink. The first illustration (left side) is from inside a house looking outside, the opposite page’s illustration (right side) is from outside the same window looking in the same direction.

This re-picturing of the same scene from different vantage points continues throughout the book. Can the reader find the various objects from the left hand picture in the right hand picture? How have they changed? Are there some things missing from the first picture to the second picture? What is in the second picture that is not in the first picture?

On the very last page spread the reader discovers the left side of the book is from the point of view/vantage point of a little boy and the right side of the book is from the point of view/ vantage point of a squirrel.
