One boy, all alone. Two seals at the sea. This innovative counting book, about a lonely boy who creates ten paintings, introduces the concept of words within words. Award-winning author Laura Vaccaro Seeger once again breaks new ground. Full-color illustrations. Beautifully designed!

Start with a crowing rooster and turn the pages to see the animals pile up, one by one. As the lyrics add a meowing cat, a quacking duck, and more friendly critters, the stepped pages offer a creative way to read a cumulative story without leaving any of the animals behind. The soundtrack for this book is the folk song "I Had a Rooster," sung by Pete Seeger.

Having explored the alphabet (The Hidden Alphabet), colors (Lemons Are Not Red), and emotions (Walter Was Worried), Laura Vaccaro Seeger turns her extraordinary talents to opposites in this bright, colorful and imaginative book. Through a series of ingenious die-cut pages, the reader discovers things that are the opposite of what they seem: A black bat transformed into a white ghost, a sunny day that becomes a starry night. Posed as a series of 18 questions and answers, Black? White! Day? Night! is sure to be a big success with small children everywhere.
