PS
As young children follow along on a colorful road trip, they learn about opposites. Using just two words, each spread demonstrates a pair of opposites, such as above (a car on a bridge) and below (a boat under the bridge). The digital illustrations using hand-drawn patterns and textures feel modern in style and color. A large gatefold adds more visual interest.

Each letter of the alphabet stands for a different job in this stylish book. The occupations range from familiar (butcher, postal worker, quarterback) to obscure (vibraphonist, xenologist). While it's hard to warm up to the faceless if well-composed digital illustrations, the variety of careers is diverting. "Want Ads" at the end, offering pun-filled descriptions for each occupation, will most likely appeal to adults.
