Toddler-PreS—A simple opposite book gets a comedic kick with the addition of a group of charming hamsters. Straightforward concepts like "up and down" are complemented by more complex pairings, such as "lost and found." Each spread features cartoon-style drawings colored digitally in cheerful pastel hues. The facial expressions of each costume-wearing little rodent add humor.
