A treat for the brain and the tongue…
With an elegant and simple approach, this thought-provoking concept book shows readers that everything in the world can be seen from infinite perspectives.
Each page compares colors, shapes, and objects in relation to each other. A triangle that is over a square is also under a circle. A circle that is pink also might be a flower.
The artful, playful combinations of simple concepts and the rhythmic writing and expert arrangement of objects on the page make this book entertaining, educational, and challenging.
