Hueys

Hueys series.
The egg-shaped, stick-limbed cast demonstrates opposites as only the Hueys can: with clever humor, visual narrative arcs and transitions, and kid-perfect examples--e.g., a cat stuck in a tree provides the context for up/down and high/low. As for "What's the opposite of the beginning?" The answer saves some Hueys from a monster who sends them fleeing at the end.

Hueys series.
In their second book, the Hueys, who usually get along with one another, devolve into an argument, which Jeffers depicts as a communal dialogue bubble showing a storm. When Gillespie Huey asks what the others are arguing about, the Hueys are speechless--and colorless (Jeffers switches to black-and-white). The illustrations, featuring a cast that resembles eggs with stick limbs, tell the story expertly.
