BLACK? WHITE! DAY? NIGHT! - A BOOK OF OPPOSITES
A Neal Porter Book/Roaring Brook Press/Fall 2006
(from inside flap)
Having explored the alphabet (The Hidden Alphabet), colors (Lemons Are Not Red), and emotions (Walter Was Worried), Laura Vaccaro Seeger now turns her extraordinary talents to opposites in this bright, colorful, and imaginative book. Here, through a series of ingenious die-cut pages, the reader discovers that things are not always what they seem. A black bat is transformed into a white ghost. A sunny day magically becomes a starry night. Posed as a series of 18 questions and answers, Black? White! Day? Night! is sure to be a big success with small children everywhere.
