Illustrated by
Bob Kolar.
The narrator of this clever book declares with sturdy confidence that there's nothing like a puffin: not a ladder or a house or a newspaper...except that the last is "black and white"--like a puffin! What's more, jeans have two legs, just like a puffin; and so on. Bold yet muted hues nicely match the retro look of the digital art.
