Review
Coupled images wordlessly tell multiple stories in either two page spreads or up to four sets of paired illustrations. Some paired images are simple, i.e. a cow next to a bottle of milk, while others are more unusual. The four pages picturing egg-chicken-chicken-egg depicts an age old question for young readers to ponder. Illustrated in flat pastel digital images, the illustrator's wit, humor and thoughtfulness add life and numerous storytelling possibilities. This will hold the interest of both children and adults through many readings.
Overall Book Score: excellent
