Learn new words and practice motor skills and shape recognition with this playful book of opposites.

Press out the shape and turn the page to complete a new picture. Best of all, ask a grown-up to play along with you, from 'take' and 'give' and 'break' and 'build' to 'now you see me', 'now you don't!' till you rediscover the red circle of the beginning, now become an apple. Once you're there, you can go backwards through the book and do it all again! This stunning and robust novelty book contains 9 press-out pieces and a surprise mirror.
