Frazier’s crisp graphic sense and supersaturated fields of red, yellow, green, and light blue drive this wordless picture book. Its focus is the play of view and perspective, using the striped, gossamer-winged Bee and red Bird as subjects. This book is first cousin to Istvan Banyai’s Zoom: it also plays with the idea that something that appears very large (Bird and Bee aboard a sailboat, on what looks like an endless span of stylized waves) turns out to be quite small (it’s a toy boat held in the hand of a boy). Here, though, the action takes place on a single stage; Bird and Bee are always there, and the scenery against which they appear is always real. The strong primary colors vibrate against each other, and the patterns have the attractive pull of a billboard.

—Publishers Weekly

Frazier’s images create a quaint narrative as the previous page’s patterns are represented in a new context on the following page. With each spread, Bee and Bird’s journey unfolds, and the perspective puzzle is pieced together. Done in Frazier’s signature style, the illustrations are filled with simple, bold patterns in primary colors, and everything is thoughtfully abstracted into geometric patterns and shapes. …pleasant and cheery, it is an interesting and urbane read.
