Bookroo's summary

Embark on a unique journey with a family as they travel to the city. As you flip the book for the return trip, watch the world transform: clouds become puddles, fields turn to rain, and city lights morph into stars. What new perspectives will you discover on this imaginative round trip?

From the publisher

This book isn’t just the STORY of a family’s round trip - it IS a round trip! Read forward and look at the sights, then flip the book over to see something different on the way back. The black-and-white illustrations for the trip into the city become something different when the book is turned upside down for the journey home. Clouds turn into puddles, fields of wheat turn into rain, lightning becomes mountain trails, and building lights morph into stars. “Round Trip” was featured on Reading Rainbow, the acclaimed PBS-TV series celebrating books and reading.
