The kids and I read a really fun book tonight. It was called the Wizard of Op. It's an old book, almost as old as I am (printed in 1975). In fact we found an old library card in the back with stamps dating back to 1986. It's a black and white book with a goofy story line that leads you to stare at lots of black and white pictures made of lines and squares. Your brain is totally seeing things that aren't there... like "furbillies" on the corners of black squares with white intersections. You see color on black and white pages. You see movement and multiple dimensions. Anyway - we had a lot of fun with it and I encourage all of you to look it up at your local libraries.
I also found that someone had posted the whole book on line. You can read the funny story but the black and white pictures don't really work as they are supposed to on the computer screen, but if your library doesn't have it - then definitely take a gander at the site www.coleo.com/Maurice/Story/
