About the book
This delightful book will have children engaged from the cover to cover. A pure white cat and an ebony black cat playfully interact and acquaint young kids with spacial concepts.
The two friendly felines interact together portraying opposites such as behind - in front, on-off, inside-outside, close-far apart, small-large, and under-over. The creative visuals greatly enrich these abstract concepts.
The illustrations are bold and colourful. The black cat and white cat stand out perfectly against the vibrant electric background.
This would be a perfect book to use with an ESL class or students that are new to the English language. I love the fact that it is formatted in board book style so toddlers will be comfortable reading it. I am sure they will go back again and again to follow those kitties as they teach them about spatial relationships and new vocabulary describing space and distance. I highly recommend this book.
