About This Item
Boston, Mass: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1990. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine / Very Good Plus. Large quarto, 12.1 in x 8 in. Unpaginated. Gray paper boards with cow embobssd in blind over black cloth spine. White title to spine. Unmarked interior. Light age-toning on dustjacket edges near spine. Original sales sticker to bottom of rear dustjacket cover. Black and White is a 1990 postmodern children's picture book. It received mixed reviews upon its release, but it was the recipient of the Caldecott Medal for illustration in 1991. The book tells four overlapping stories, each drawn with a distinct visual style. The four stories are "Seeing Things", about a boy on a train trip by himself, "Problem Parents", about siblings whose parents behave differently one night, "A Waiting Game", about people waiting for a train, and "Udder Chaos", about cows who escape and then return to their field.
Synopsis
Four stories are told simultaneously, with each double-page spread divided into quadrants. The stories do not necessarily take place at the same moment in time, but are they really one story?
