The pictures are in black and white with only the odd splash of colour - on one page a tiny blue butterfly, on another an orange ant. Pop your finger into the hole in each page and turn to see how one animal becomes part of another - so, the panda's eye becomes a patch on the giraffe's neck.
This book is chubby and substantial. The cover is soft and spongy, with a cute white dog in relief against a black background. The black is dense and shiny and the boldness of the contrasting colours will appeal to very young babies.
