Behold: an opposites book like no other. Simple pairings of words, both expected (small/large) and unexpected (clear/blurry), are humorously illustrated with a graphic and lovable red hippopotamus. Bold colors and surprising die-cuts and textures spice up this elegantly engaging board book.

STARRED REVIEW
French illustrator Coat blends a quirky sensibility with a slick visual aesthetic...its an excellent (and fun) vehicle through which to demonstrate the concept.
