I do love They all Saw a Cat precisely for this, Tasha.  I got permission
from the publisher to digitally show it for a workshop - perhaps that's
another route besides schlepping...?

My students (K-4) enjoyed *Du Iz Tak *by Carson Ellis. They were able to
figure out the meaning of the nonsense words from the pictures. The
pictures demonstrate the change of place as time passes. It's a fun book to
analyze.

Hi Tasha,



I recently created a wordless picture book display for high school
students - focusing on the concept of: building critical thinking, 
develop
empathy, broaden perspectives through images.



I think Duck!Rabbit! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal is a great one for your
purposes.



Have fun!

Hi all,



I am working on a class on visual literacy. I want to start with a
picture book that helps demonstrate the notion that -- in Debbie 
Abilock's
words -- every image makes an argument. Does anyone have any suggestions?



Currently, I am planning to use Brendan Wenzel's *They All Saw a Cat*,
because it uses varied illustration styles to convey the perspective with
which different animals view a cat. However, I need to carry several 
dozen
copies with me when I travel and that book is only available in 
hardcover.



Whether any particular title is available in paperback is something I
can check, but I would appreciate any title suggestions that you think
would be a good fit to illustrate this principle.



Thank you,

Tasha
