Journey: An award-winning modern classic picture book. The first in Aaron Becker's genre-defying JOURNEY trilogy of wordless picture book adventures. For ages 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Great book for kids and adults to promote their imagination and spend quality time together. The concept is genius that instead of reading one same story over and over a child can come up with their own. It is also a great find for children who cant read yet, or communicate in different languages cause this wont stop you from having a great time together feeling included.

All went well from purchase to arrival. Package well. A fabulous picture book, which will stretch a childs imagination.

What a treat! Journey is an amazing, beautifully illustrated, magical story. Don't we all wish to find that magic door to another world? Not only is the book full of little details for kids can discover, some of the pictures are simply breathtaking. I also love the strong female character. A good inspiration for little ones. We have 'read' it at least a hundred times, over and over again. Kids loved the idea of a magic crayon, re/discovering the magic drawings, the kingdom, waterfalls, bad soldiers, the main hero standing up for the bird...I could continue. Our kids (3 and 5) always call it 'the magic book'.

My daughter raved about this book when her Year 1 class looked at it at school, and so I have used this book with my Reception class for the past 9 years. Each year, children notice something I have never seen before. Such is the depth and detail of these illustrations that there is always something new to explore. Wordless picture books are incredible for inference, prediction, imagination... And this is one of the best.

A lot of hype around this book but it didn’t quite hit the mark

My daughter used this book at school and wanted to order it. It has no words and gives the child full control over the story, we have made many stories over many nights always slightly different. Really fun and creative idea to see your child's imaginative side.

Fabulous book to fire the imagination. The fact it has no words makes every time read a little bit different. Enjoyed by adults as well as children. Wonderful illustrations.

Bought this for working with deaf children. Loved it so much I bought the trilogy straight away for further work and for going through with my own (hearing) kids. The art is amazing, you pick it new details every time, the quality it great. We go through the books and make up stories and dialogue from different perspectives: "What if the hero is actually a villain? " "Let's have the sidekick as the main character " The intended story is really good, adults enjoy it, but these books are open ended.

What a breath of fresh air. The art is very nice with an emphasis on architecture and larger forms, the story is simple and adventurous with good morals, and the book is a great way to have kids to put their own words to a story. Loved it instantly! Minor spoilers follow. The real reason I wanted to write a review, however, is to provide a counter to the reviews that raise concerns over the philosophy of the book. As the father of two daughters, I find them totally baseless. Two themes stuck out to me from the negative reviews: the 1950's style domestic mom on the intro pages, and the rescue of the heroine. As for the mom, the introductory pages are designed to show an imperfect family. The faults of the home (workaholic dad, electronics obsessed sis, overly domestic mother) are there for a reason: for the flaws! It's anecdotal, but my daughters caught on instantly and "read" the family as flawed. In short, the mom is a not a person to be emulated, so there is no problem. Regarding the heoine's rescue, I almost didn't buy the book because I was concerned over a knight in shining armor riding in to save the day; I dislike that particular deus ex machina. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In the story, the heroine saves a magical creature from the cage, who in return rescues the heroine when she is captured while rendering said assistance. I'm sorry, I have no idea how anyone construes helping others and accepting their help in return as negative... I hope this helps new buyers on the fence. Not everyone is going to like the art, or the price, or the lack of words, but the story and morals are just fine for young children.

É um livro sem palavras, então pouco importa o idioma de origem (no meu caso, compramos em inglês). A história é contada por meio de desenhos simples mas ricos em detalhes, e nas primeiras vezes em que lemos, toda vez vimos uma coisa nova. Vale para aguçar a criatividade: cada um dos meus pequenos conta a história de um jeito diferente, do seu próprio jeito. Também é acessível às minhas filhas menores que têm quatro anos na data em que recebemos. É uma trilogia, então vale também comprar os outros, que continuam exatamente de onde o anterior parou. Perde uma estrela pela demora na entrega para o Brasil e por um dano superficial (uma espécie de risco) na capa traseira.

Journey is a book with no words, but full of exciting, gorgeous art, story telling art - the reader OR/AND the child can imagine and create the Journey. The Journey taker is a young girl, a bit like Lyra in Philip Pullman's triology, a successful young girl on a JOURNEY, solving problems, making decisions, being confident, and on a JOURNEY. The art is fabulous, just fabulous. And not only can you (reader) and child (listener) make up your own words to describe the heroine's Journey set out page by page, but you can do it in any language! There are no words, no right or wrong, just use your imagine, or the child will use his or her imagination, and travel on the Journey. Such a creative innovative way to entice children into the world of books. Loved it.

Great Product would buy again

Ich hatte mir die Mühe gemacht, auch ein Video zur Entstehung des Buches anzuschauen und wusste dann den Aufwand hinter den Zeichnungen wirklich zu würdigen. Das Buch ist ohne Text und lässt dadurch unbegrenzten Raum für Phantasie und immer wieder neue Geschichten. Die gezeichnete Welt entführt einen immer tiefer auf die Seiten des Buches. Nach nur einer Seite hat man das Gefühl, man hätte eine Weltreise hinter sich. Mein 4-jähriger Sohn hat auch schon viel Freude daran, selbst Geschichten zu erfinden und sich in den Escher-haften Gängen und Kanälen des Schlosses zu verlieren. Wundervoll und empfehlenswert.
