In this inventive book illustrated with flat, cartoony art, an exterior view (e.g., of an elementary school) shows figures silhouetted in windows (schoolchildren ostensibly studying). The next page reveals the building's surprising interior (because the drinking fountain overflowed, the kids are rowing a canoe inside). The exterior-interior contrasts grow repetitive, but each pairing yields a worthy reminder that first impressions can deceive.
