A simple yet sophisticated look at things both similar and different is presented in this clever, attractive title. Like a chain of interconnected Venn diagrams, the concept on each spread directly links to the next page. An airplane, a bird, and a group of bees are examples of things that fly. Turning the page to striped things, the bees remain, but the others are replaced by a zebra and banded snake. Set theory is attractively portrayed with bold cutouts in basic red, green, yellow, blue, and black and white. Varying page layouts and clever groupings make this concept book a striking circular read. (Ages 2–5)

Forget about differences! Here’s a wonderful new concept book to explore and enjoy!

Marthe Jocelyn and Tom Slaughter team up again to deliver a delightfully simple book. Jocelyn’s marvelous concept — finding common characteristics in different creatures and objects — coupled with Slaughter’s masterful paper cuts makes Same Same a clever introduction to similarities, as well as a preface to modern art.

The duo’s previous titles have received numerous awards worldwide; from Japan to Denmark, from France to Mexico. Fashioned in the traditional and stunning style of the pair’s past books, Same Same is a wonderful addition to their already impressive library.
