An ingenious and fascinating picture book from South America introduces young children to the concept of time

A strikingly original picture book that will appeal to a range of readers, stimulate interesting discussions, and increase awareness of the visual richness of the world, this fun story shows a series of captivating scenes from a suburban street: a baby tries to play a game, a burglar starts running down the street, a hairdresser spots an old customer, and a dogcatcher sneaks up on a stray dog. Some scenes are funny, some exciting, and some are just intriguing. The final page shows that these events have one thing in common--they're all happening in the same exact moment of time. As well as providing a colorful and entertaining streetscape for children to explore, this award-winning picture book also encourages kids to consider all the things that are happening in just one second in their own worlds.
