The Happy Little Yellow Box: ?A Pop-up Book of Opposites
David A. Carter. Little Simon, $12.99 (18p) ISBN
978-1-4169-4096-8
A smiley-faced yellow box assumes different roles and interacts
with white chalk-drawn elements against plain black pages in this
joyful exploration of opposites. Transformed into a helicopter, the
yellow box rises upward in a pop-up ("High and low with the Happy
Little Yellow Box"). In other spreads, the box becomes the back of
a truck (horses emerge via tab to demonstrate in versus out) and
peeks out of windows in two houses to emphasize near and far.
Readers' smiles will match that of the box in this winning blend of
minimalism, movement, and personality. Ages 3-up. (July)
