Lenka Chytilova was drawn to books and writing from a young age. It was no surprise, then, when she got a degree in Czech Language and Literature and German Translation. She has always tried to connect books and reading, her greatest hobby, with her work; she worked part-time in a bookshop for many years and she also worked as an editor and proofreader. Lenka likes classic Czech fairytales, and she loves Večerníček, the Czech television program for children’s bedtime stories. She grew up in a village in East Moravia.
Veronika Zacharova is a graphic artist, illustrator, and animator from the Czech Republic. She has made several animated films and projects, some of which have won festival awards. She is an author of the visual identity and the jingle for Anifilm, a Czech animation festival.
<p>"Part of a series (First Words), this book is nicely sized for little hands and printed on sturdy board pages. The opposites are well presented; the pictures clearly illustrate the concepts and readers will be able to catch on to the concept of opposites. This is a simple book, with just the two words on each page (old/new, many/few) but there are enough extra details that there will be plenty to talk about between adult and child as they look at the book together. Especially fun are the pages that have windows cut through to show part of the next or previous illustration." <em><strong>—Robin Shtulman, Athol Public Library, Athol</strong></em></p>
Books with a playful mechanism introducing young readers to some basic concepts.
Is the house big or small? Is the ball clean or dirty? What’s the difference between old and new? In this board book, kids will learn the basic opposites they meet on an everyday basis! This way, children will learn their first words with us!
On every page, there is a little surprise waiting for them: thanks to cut-outs on every spread, one image transforms into another as the page turns. Combined with thoughtful and lively illustrations, this book is perfect for little ones!
