Toddler-PreS—Suppose the world were just black-and-white? The black cat, who lives in a white house, can't visit the white cat, who lives in a black house, and vice versa. When one calls on the other, the caller promptly disappears. This enchanting board book features simple black-and-white collages of cats, or cats in houses, until the triumphant, colorful ending. Garralon, a native of France, has a number of delightful titles to her credit, both as illustrator and author. One can hope that all of these works will soon be published in English-language versions.
VERDICT Young children will enjoy this board book's whimsical wit and artistry. A winner.
