Black? White! Day? Night!: A Book of Opposites

Laura Vaccaro Seeger’s Black? White! Day? Night! is a sensational lift-the-flap concept book that explores opposites in new and exciting ways! Each page of this book offers a flap that reveals a picture, but lift the flap and the picture is transformed into an entirely different image–in each case, the opposite of what came before. Thus, black becomes white, sad becomes happy, and simple morphs into complicated.
