I hope you'll go and find a Peter Spier book at the library or bookstore after you see this blog post! Perfect for relaxing summer days, Peter Spier's (often wordless or nearly wordless) stories are beautifully illustrated with delicate black line drawings and watercolor wash. The pictures are so filled with detail, you can get lost in them!Our family's top 4 favorites:
PETER SPIER'S CIRCUS 
- watch as an empty field gets transformed into a Big Top village, as the circus rolls into town!

(Caldecott Medal Winner) - in this almost wordless book, the illustrations provide us with a nonverbal story of Noah and give great perspective to the enormous task ahead of him.

I kept thinking it was our dear nephew's book! and that you were spelling his last name wrong. LOL. I bet MY Peter and Victoria would like these because of the detailed drawings, they love I Spy and similar books. Now I just thought of another book recommendation.. now to see if you have already featured it.
