Review Quotes

"Allow(s) readers to draw unexpected connections between the mundane and everyday wonders . . . much to muse on here. A curiously offbeat treat."

--Kirkus

"Photos accompany each word pair across all categories, prompting children to ask more questions when exploring their own surroundings and make more personal, illuminating connections on their own! A great choice for early childhood shelves."
--School Library Journal
