Synopsis: Behold: an opposites book like no other!

Simple pairings of words, both expected (small/large) and unexpected (clear/blurry), are humorously illustrated with a graphic and lovable red hippopotamus.

Bold colors and surprising die-cuts and textures spice up this elegantly engaging board book.
