I'm not a huge fan of wordless picture books in general, but despite that I thought this book had a really cute concept, and was enjoyable enough that my 3-year old kept asking what was going to be in the next window. The pictures are all black and white, but they are very detailed and uniquely drawn, which made them interesting to look at. If I had a physical copy of this book, I'd say my kids would pick this one up to look through it again.

The beautiful llustrations tell a story of their own, where behind each window hides an individual mini-plot, that invites the reader to imagine a personal take on the narrative of what is happening in every living space.

I first thought of droping one star because I felt that there was no ending, but then I realized that, probably, the author did that to encourage kids —and whomever they are reading the book with— to continue the story themselves, creating stories from the windows in their own surroundings.

What a captivating little book about childhood imagination. The illustrations are eerie yet whimsical, and I love that they tell the story without any words. This is definitely a book that can be read over and over again because of the intricate drawings, and it would be even better read as a physical book. Highly recommended to kids (or anyone) with big imaginations!

I loved this book! It would be great for that kid who won't stop talking during storytime! 'Window' has no words just illustrations heavy on quirky details and fun. It follows a little daydreamer, Martha, as she walks home from school and imagines what is going on in each of the windows. This is one that you will revisit as you are sure to discover something new with each new pass.

This is a nice little wordless picture book that shows a little girl imagining what's going on behind all the windows she sees as she walks home.

The black-and-white illustrations are detailed and interesting, and tell a story fairly well without using any words at all. I read this as an e-book, however, and it definitely doesn't work as well as it probably does as a paper book. Each spread really needs to be viewed in its entirety, and it looks like there are flaps to lift to reveal the different scenes hiding behind each window. (There are just some features that e-books can't replicate.)

If you can find a paper copy of this, I'd recommend taking a look. As wordless picture books go, it's fairly strong, and kids will have fun seeing the imaginative scenes lurking behind each of the varied windows.

This book is great for encouraging kids to use their imagination. The story-telling is funny imaginative and manages to tell its story with no words. I was a huge fan of the illustrations in this book as well.

A young girl walks home from school and daydreams about what might be behind each window she passes. This story is very quirky and imaginative. It doesn't contain any words but the pictures tell the story. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my digital copy.

I cannot say enough good things about this book! There are no words and non are needed. My 9 and 2 year old stole the computer and looked at this book 3 more times making up games of things to discover on the pages. Highly recommend this one for anyone and I will be adding it to my personal library for sure!

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

This picture book just sounded too delightful to pass. I knew I had to try it out and see what the girl imagined. And oh boy, did she imagine!

Meet our tiny little heroine she has a very big imagination and as she walks from school to home she sees all sorts of magical events. She imagines what is behind each window that she encounters. From a window with dead flowers in front of it she sees a whole garden in the house, a shuttered window that must mean vampires and bats, and so on. Each window brought new delights and I was definitely looking forward to each window.
Plus, I am fairly sure the kid has the best time walking home. It can get a bit boring walking the same route everyday, but imagining these things makes it all better and more fun. Plus, you can keep imagining. One day the windows will be x, the next maybe y?

This girl encounters some very fun and lovely windows, this town is so diverse! I would have loved seeing so many diverse windows when I was a kid, I am sure I would have done some imagining myself then.

I loved how the girl also moved along with the pages. She starts at the left and ends up at the right.

It is just a shame that this is an ecopy as it broke up the pages in two parts. It just distracted a bit and took away from the magic. No I won't rate the book lower on that, I just feel that I need to say this as it was something that stood out for me. It distracted me.

The art was just amazing. I loved that it was black/white, but I loved it even more that there were so many details on each page. The intricate windows, and then the scenes behind them. Holy wow. This book definitely provides a long time of fun just checking all the details and seeing if you can find them all.

All in all, a magical and imaginative book I would recommend to everyone.

WHAT AN ADORABLE BOOK.
I mean I did not expect that I would enjoy this book as much.
The concept of this book is simple yet it shows a lot. It is about a girl who walks home from school and passes a lot of windows. From the front it looks like completely normal windows, but the inside? perhaps is normal too. But the girl makes it wild by her imagination!!!! I love love love love it! What a fantastic little book :) You need to have it!

This was a beautifully illustrated book (no words!) that shows the depths of children's imaginations. Each page is so detailed, you can look for a long time at each imagined scene and see countless hidden things. That said, there are a few pages that insinuate eating children, so I wouldn't recommend this for very young kids or those with sensitive/fearful personalities.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for the free copy of in exchange for an honest review.

Such a delight this book was.
Imagine what lives inside of any window you pass by. A young lady? A bear? Who knows!

Without dialogues at all, we follow a girl as she passes by many windows and starts wondering what's behind them. The power of imagination sure is something we should appreciate more.

An the art by Marion is beautiful, i enjoyed this book so much. I wanna put my hands on the physical edition asap.

Beautifully imaginative. So much is showcased without a single word. The images bring forth a reminder that children really are centers of creation. With each window you get a sense of what could be lurking just beyond sight and the results do not disappoint.

Window is a sweet and adorable children’s book that’s great for the whole family!
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

As a girl walks home from school she wonders what’s taking place behind the windows she passes. Using details she can see as clues, she imagines scenes that include vampires, a deep sea diver, a jungle and a collection of masks.

This wordless picture book encourages the ‘reader’ to use their own imaginations to tell the story of what’s happening in each room. While there’s an overall theme to each room there are other stories taking place if you look closely, like a frog roasting a marshmallow. I’ve also found Alice in Wonderland references in two illustrations (so far). I will definitely look again to see if I missed any the first time around.

I love the idea of children telling their parents the story of what’s happening behind each window.

Although adult me can appreciate black and white illustrations, kid me would have wanted the entire rainbow. I’m not sure if it’s my eyes or the illustrations, but I had trouble identifying some of the smaller elements in a few pictures.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for the opportunity to read this book. I’m rounding up from 3.5 stars.

I love Marion Arbona's illustration style, and this newly released picture book is no exception! Window is a wordless story of a girl who imagines what is behind all the windows that she passes each day. Every scene is packed full of whimsical imaginary settings, from a Gnome lifting contest to Bears reading books. My daughter and I had a lot of fun coming up with background stories for each scene. Highly recommended!
