(3) PS Illustrated by Quirino Santiago & Martín Santiago. This book uses images of colorful folk-art-style Oaxaca wood carvings to illustrate opposites. The animal figures reflect the concepts both literally (e.g., a dog is first asleep then awake) and figuratively (e.g., fast and slow are represented by a rabbit and turtle, respectively). The accomplished sculptures are set against brightly colored backgrounds.
