One of these things is almost like the others...
Behold this artful and unusual odd-one-out board book for the youngest readers, featuring a much-loved theme: food! Bastien Contraire masterfully creates spreads with six to eight images each - all of which belong together, except one that may resemble the others but has no business joining the rest. An umbrella among mushrooms, a snake among vegetables, and a canoe among pastries are all hiding in plain sight for the delighted toddler to giddily discover! Young readers will exercise skills of categorization and visual acuity in finding the imposter , and bask in the preposterous silliness. This is the third book in Contraire's collectible Hide and Sneak series.
Colors are brighter than they appear - printed in pure Pantones.
