Illustrated by
Joëlle Jolivet.
Inanimate objects, animals, and people tell the reader, in accessibly repetitive sentences, their location: "I am in the net, said the butterfly. / I am in space, said the planet." Bold block-print illustrations portray settings and situations that children will enjoy identifying, solidifying their grasp of the "in" concept. The spaciousness of the design and exquisite color sense enliven a simple format.

Illustrated by
Joëlle Jolivet.
In this panoramic book, readers can open folds to make one long scene or turn them like pages to learn about world habitats. Do these environs change at night? Read from the back, the journey reverses itself. Illustrations resembling block prints (black figures on white backgrounds or white on black) showcase flora and fauna. An outstanding blend of form and content.
