Review

An entertaining concept book that is silly and intellectually challenging for preschoolers. The concept of in-between is examined in a playful manor by a talented new author/illustrator. Tey has given readers a wonderful series of two page spreads which encourage us to find the in between item or animal. The shades blended are modern and striking, while the three characters are presented in dull colors to maintain the reader's focus. Each spread offers large font text that is readable by primary grade students. The illustrations make me think of the work by Melissa Sweet, both of these ladies know how to get and keep the attention of their readers. Great first offering that I would add to all public libraries and gift to K classrooms. Nice birthday gift book for two year olds.

Overall Book Score: very good
