Part Sandra Boynton, part Each Peach Pear Plum; part Chicka Chicka
Boom Boom, part Hippopposites-a treat for the brain and the tongue.
With an elegant and simple approach, this thought-provoking concept
book shows young readers that everything in the world can be seen
from infinite perspectives. Each page compares colors, shapes, and
objects in relation to each other. A triangle that is over a square
is also under a circle. A circle that is pink also might be a
flower. The artful, playful combinations of simple concepts and
Higgins's rhythmic writing and expert arrangement of objects on the
page make this book a perfect read-aloud, capable of entertaining,
educating, and challenging readers in equal measure. There are
multiple ways to read the book, allowing it to work for several
ages and reading levels at once. The educational value and sheer
fun packed into this book's language and visual design will make it
a huge hit with educators and librarians, new parents, and creative
kids who are visual learners. This striking, delightfully different
exploration of shape, color, and patterns redefines what a picture
book can be. Read it once, read it ten times. See something new
every time. A GREAT INTRODUCTION TO MANY DIFFERENT CONCEPTS: This
book's focus on color, shapes, objects, and relative words like
"over," "under," and "next to" make this the perfect introduction
to basic concepts of all kinds. Rather than traditional concept
books that focus on only one idea, this book combines its teaching
approach, helping young readers learn more than one concept at once
by showing how they relate to each other. A DYNAMIC LEARNING
EXPERIENCE: The unusual combination of colors, shapes, and animals
intelligently introduces young readers to patterns, classification,
and problem-solving. The imaginative language of this book, rich
with rhythmic phrasing and a tongue twister-like playfulness,
creates a soothing read-aloud text that engages young children with
questions and encourages audience participation. PERFECT FOR ANY
KIND OF EDUCATION: With a variety of concepts, clear read-aloud
qualities, and the many different ways this book engages different
styles of learning, this book is ideal for librarians, educators,
and anyone creating reading events in their communities. BELOVED
