Description

An enticing collection of before-and-after scenarios, created by master artist and acclaimed author of This Is Not A Book


Graphic artist Jean Jullien insightfully and comically depicts a set of clever and surprising before-and-after two-frame narratives, each progressed by a page turn. From pale skin to sunburned skin, dirty to clean, long hair to short hair (to long again), Jullien masterfully builds anticipation and a satisfying resolution with each pairing. Striking the perfect balance of predictability and unexpectedness, this book will leave readers in wonder as they flip back and forth.

Reviews

"A charming board book for young children with and art- and design-conscious parents. Witty and bold graphics depict various situations in their "before" and "after" states."—Illustration


"Visual goodness in a sturdy board book format for younger fingers to tackle... Insightful and humorous."—PictureBookBlogger
