Summary
Another collage art picture book by the critically acclaimed mother/daughter team of Marthe and Nell Jocelyn. In this book, the concept of homonyms - words that sound and look the same, but have different meanings - is playfully introduced. There’s nowhere better to look, it turns out, than on the page right under your nose - where caps, and matches, and glasses and things, are delightfully displayed in all their dual meanings.Where do you look for glasses? On a shelf? Or on a face?In this playful exploration of homonyms, readers will discover the fun they can have with language. Is a wave at a beach? Or at a train station? Is a trunk in a garden? Or on an elephant? Kids will love the juxtaposition of words and meanings, and the detailed collage illustrations will have them coming back again and again.The mother and daughter team of Marthe and Nell Jocelyn know where to look for a story: Not in a skyscraper, but in the dictionary!

Critics Review
“[A] celebration of homonyms…. attention to detail in each colourful collage is mesmerizing.”
– The Waterloo Region Record
Praise for Ones and Twos:
“This delightful concept book brings visual literacy to the forefront, supported by a minimal text…. The simple descriptive verses … are spot-on to reinforce images of numeracy, sorting, paring, common-object recognition, and the daily lives of young children…. The charming collages are the stars of the show and will inspire curiosity”
- Starred Review, School Library Journal
”… Jocelyn’s imaginative collages help create a book rich in playful details, with a storyline told through pictures that provide depth to the concepts explored in the text…. Sophisticated and yet endearingly simple, Ones and Twos can be enjoyed by both very young children and the adults who read it with them.”
- Starred Review, Quill & Quire
