Book Description
for Vehicles Hide and Sneak by Bastien Contraire
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
“One of these things is almost like the others … ” begins this board book, prompting readers to locate on each two-page spread the object that, upon closer examination, definitely does not belong. Insects, animals, and household objects hide among the small collections of vehicles of the same type (boats on one page spread, airplanes on another, and so on). On one spread there are four buses—no, three buses and a toaster. On another, there are five helicopters and a hornet. The color palette adds difficulty—each object is printed in solid shades of hot pink and blue—and each vehicle differs slightly from the others of its type, slowing down the eye as it searches for the rogue object. (Ages 1-3)
