The Time Goes By series is my newest find at the library. These aren't the typical look and find books, although there are things listed to find on each page. And the pictures don't have the map-like quality of Roxie Munro's books. Instead, this series brings you to a place which you get to experience over a passage of time: A Day in a City, A Day at an Airport, A Year in a Castle, etc...
The illustrations are of the same view, but change on each page spread as time goes by and lots of things happen! They are packed with details: some pictures have cut-away walls so you can see inside of buildings, they contain lots of little stories that you follow visually, there are some people who show up only once, and others that appear throughout the day, and each page has a "follow the action" key on the sidebar illuminating the time and where it fits in.
Here is the complete list of titles.

Hi folks,
I just put a page up on my website where I ask kids to make a maze and then take a photo (or scan) of their maze (jpeg is best, or a pdf) and send it to me at roxie@roxiemunro.com
I'll put some of the mazes up on my website
(http://www.roxiemunro.com/forkidsmazesandmore/kidsmakemazes.html). It'd be nice if they could title the maze, and let me know their name and what state they live in.
The kids can create any kind they want (on the site there are instructions for how to make a Geometric Maze or a Random Roxie Reversing maze).
Have fun, and feel free to forward this to anyone you think may like to make a maze!
