by David Macaulay
Reminiscent of Meanwhile by Jason Shiga for younger kids. Choose your reading order, determine the story for yourself. Some may find this frustrating, but those willing to engage with the text and images should find something entertaining and/or thought provoking there.
I love Macaulay's work, and this is particularly weird and wonderful. It's Meanwhile: Pick Any Path. 3,856 Story Possibilities. for the younger set, which I suppose makes it most like Meanwhile....
