Book Description
for Black? White! Day? Night! by Laura Vaccaro Seeger
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Another cleverly designed concept book from Laura Vaccaro Seeger explores opposites. Each page features a single concept presented as a one-word question (“narrow?” “follow?”), and an accompanying illustration that visually conveys the idea. Part of each image is viewed through a die-cut. A lift of the heavy-stock, full- page flap reveals the concept’s opposite (“wide!” “follow!”), while the portion of the original image viewed through the die-cut is now part of a new illustration that visually expresses the opposite concept. The bold, colorful, clean-lined images in this attractive, engaging volume are arranged so that the pairings on each two-page spread reference one another with one or more shared colors. (Ages 3–6)
