Toddler-PreS—This inspired concept book introduces kids to the idea of opposites through a series of playful images that aren't quite what they appear to be. "Empty or full?" asks Baruzzi. The facing page depicts a seemingly empty fish tank but folds out to reveal a group of orange and red fish. Another page asks, "Hot or cold?" The facing page portrays a shining sun that folds out to become a dripping pair of Popsicles. Vibrant colors, simple objects, and an imaginative premise combine for a thought-provoking experience.
