I have had a copy of the Mysteries of Harris Burdick for years that I keep meaning to do something like this with. Surreal and mysterious, the pictures would be sure to promote some interesting connections.

What a fun idea! I have a suggestion that, while not wordless, might still work. What about a child's book that is written in a different language?

Does anyone have any other suggestions for wordless picture books that would work well for this exercise?
