| Publisher Description: Behold: an opposites book like no other. Simple pairings of words, both expected (small/large) and unexpected (clear/blurry), are humorously illustrated with a graphic and lovable red hippopotamus. Bold colors and surprising die-cuts and textures spice up this elegantly engaging board book. Praise for Hippopposites Nicely done and a perfect gift, your favorite little one will love this book. --KIWI Magazine This is a marvelous introduction to linguistic nuance for the very young. --The Wall Street Journal A distinctive offering stands out in the crowded field of concept contenders. --Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW French illustrator Coat blends a quirky sensibility with a slick visual aesthetic...it's an excellent (and fun) vehicle through which to demonstrate the concept. --Publishers Weekly, starred review Award 2013 ALA/ALSC Notable Book |
