"Where do you look for glasses? On a shelf? Or on a face?" This introduction to homonyms pairs its series of questions with generously patterned collage artwork that has an inviting homespun feel, like a patchwork quilt. The book's warmth and cheerfulness impart the message that it's not just toys that can be played with--words can be played with, too.

In this concept book, rhyming text describes two friends who meet up at the park. Following a predictable pattern ("One bird, two eggs, / One girl, two legs"), the text counts single items and pairs, each easily found in the art. Cut-paper collages employ a wide range of colorfully patterned and textured paper that will have viewers poring over the details.
