Clever pairings, bold graphic art, and an expressive toddler in diapers make the concepts fun.” — Publishers Weekly Ladies are big, but ladybugs are little. Heads are big, but toes are little. Illustrated in a bright, graphic style, Leslie Patricelli’s bald, hilariously expressive baby acts out each pair of opposites with comically dramatic effect. Algunas cosas son grandes.
