By Total Package, I mean a clever concept, high production values and of course, beautiful illustrations.
Herewith: Up Down. Total Package.
Featuring animals from snow-capped regions, we first meet some seals--a mum, dad and baby. Baby is BELOW the parents, but hey presto! One swipe upwards of the cardboard page and our little cutie is first BESIDE then ABOVE!
Next is a clutch of fish in seaweed. Pull the card page out and our little orange friend is no longer INSIDE the seaweed, but THROUGH, then OUTSIDE!
And on we go through jellyfish, turtles and polar bears, all maneuvering into position: IN FRONT OF, BETWEEN, BEHIND, UP, DOWN, ACROSS ... you get the picture. And so will your toddler!
Lusciously vibrant illustrations full of visual texture are enormously enjoyable, and round out a gorgeous bookish treat for wee ones keep to get a hold on their spatial skills.
