"I'm seeing more and more funny things. This is cool, isn't it?" – T, Age "almost 5, but still 4"

Photo Adventures is a guide to photographing optical illusions. From kids walking on the ceiling to boys with candy-filled brains to miniature people navigating Queen Anne's Lace, straightforward instructions make creative photographs do-able with everyday objects. I would definitely categorize this as a niche-publication, but recommend it for creative or curious kids, aspiring photographers, or Instagrammers who want to up their game. T had fun looking at the pictures, but was not interested in being a model or making any of the photos. I have a feeling his answer would be different if he were a bit older, which is why I'm categorizing this as "middle grade." 

Cool trivia:
Jan Von Holleben has worked as a photographer for Der Spiegel.
