‘This is a book in which seeing and watching are used as metaphors for humankind's eternal, yet impossible, quest to control the world. The Viewer establishes a parallel between the human quest for knowledge and civilisation's progress towards self-destruction. However, it is out of such destruction that regeneration comes.'  (Sheahan-Bright, R. 2004.) There are some great teaching ideas for this picture book developed by Robyn Sheahan-Bright for Lothian Books at the following website: http://www.lothian.com.au/teachersnotes/theviewer.doc.
