@Tom-Harshberger cool! I've never even heard of this book -- will have to check it out!
Here are a few suggestions of detailed and/or cross-section style picture books:
-
Farmhouse and Hello Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall -- Hello Lighthouse won the Caldecott
-
Journey, Quest, and Return by Aaron Becker (wordless trilogy)
-
Found by Jeff Newman
-
The Dog Walk by Sven Nordqvist
-
The Midnight Fair by Gideon Sterer
-
The Wanderer by Peter Van den Ende
-
One Little Bag by Henry Cole
-
Gold by Jed Alexander, sequel to Red, which is also good
-
Leaf by Daishu Ma
-
The Arrival by Shaun Tan -- for a little bit older audience, but has that feeling of visiting a whole other world
Most of these are wordless, except the books by Sophie Blackall, which have the cross sections you were mentioning you're looking for. However, they are quieter books. Hope these help. Let us know if you're looking for something more specific in book recommendations.
