a book like this is an essential part of the very young childs library.
Starred Review, Publishers Weekly

Aside from the sheer energy and stylishness of art and design it displays, Same Same nudges kids to enjoy visual qualities in the world around them. There's something energizing about the very vibrancy of both colour and concept here.
