Behold this artful and unusual odd-one-out board book for the youngest readers, featuring a favourite theme: transportation. Contraire masterfully creates spreads with four to eight images each - all of which belong together, except one that may resemble the others but has no business joining the rest. A turtle among trucks, a donkey among motorcycles, and a bird among planes are all hiding in plain sight for the delighted toddler to giddily discover! Young readers will exercise skills of categorization and visual acuity in finding the 'imposter', and bask in the preposterous silliness.
Bastien Contraire is the co-founder of Papier Gaché, an independent publisher of fanzines and art books. His work in design encouraged him to explore numerous hands-on art techniques, leading him to discover the stencil-print technique he uses for this book and his previous books Undercover and Animals Hide and Sneak, also published by Phaidon. Contraire lives in Paris.
