(3) PS "[T]he Opposite Zoo is CLOSED. But the monkey's door is OPEN! Time to explore..." On each spread, the monkey visits animals who represent opposite qualities: "AWAKE!" vs. "asleep"; "Hairy" vs. "Bald"; etc. Some animal choices are imprecise (e.g., hippos aren't technically bald), but the visual interactions between animals playfully convey their personalities, and the rich-hued illustrations, full of graceful curves, are captivating.
