Illustrated by
Tom Frost.
This concept book takes pre-readers under the big top to introduce opposites via cleverly designed lift-the-flaps. Three identical clowns illustrate same until a flap pies one in the face to reveal different; few acrobats become many after an accordion gatefold. The illustrations are spare but graphically sharp; for a movable book, this one is fairly sturdy, with heavy board pages and cardstock-weight flaps.
