PS
Seeger's classy lift-the-flap book of opposites employs a text that is simplicity itself ("tiny? huge! over? under!") to introduce concepts of contrast and context, appealingly revealed through interactive investigation. Bold colors and decisive lines, clever optical illusions (the lettering for the word simple forms part of a complicated maze), and mischievous humor combine for a thoughtful, well-packaged offering. This is a paper-over-board edition.
