Learn all about opposites through internationally renowned master picture book-maker Anthony Browne's beloved primates.
What's the opposite of old Young! What's the opposite of sad Happy! But what's the opposite of opposite...
Featuring a range of exquisite primates, from gorillas to chimpanzees, white-faced capuchins to orangutans, Anthony Browne has created a wonderfully unique first book of opposites, with his striking palette and quirky flair for facial expressions sure to charm readers of all ages.
Anthony Browne is one of my grandchildrens favourite authors, and when another wonderful book of his appeared across my desk I seized it immediately. And what a joy it is! It is a fascinating way to learn about opposites and primates while delighting in Brownes exquisitely detailed illustrations. * ReadPlus *
