Critics Review
“Inspired … . Vibrant colors, simple objects, and an imaginative premise combine for a thought-provoking experience.” –School Library Journal“Opposite Surprise by Agnese Baruzzi is a book with flaps that reveals the surprising opposites of words and phrases.” –Lee Littlewood, Kids Home Library“The youngest readers will delight in the unexpected in Italian illustrator Agnese Baruzzi’s charming, interactive Opposite Surprise … .Tots will not only begin to grasp the concept of opposites; they will have a glimpse into a (friendly) world where what you see might not be what you get. This bright, cheerful board book will surprise young readers with fold-out illustrations that are the opposite of what they first seemed.” –Shelf Awareness“A guessing game about opposites in a cleverly designed board book that epitomizes the maxim ‘show, don’t tell.’ The rather abstract concept of opposites is successfully demonstrated in Baruzzi’s whimsical, graphically flat cartoon illustrations … . This deceptively simple concept book is the opposite of confusing.” –Kirkus Reviews
