Board book Up, Down & Other Opposites with its typical board-book-bland-ish cover will be a book you will overlook if you miss the line underneath the title: With Ellsworth Kelly. This is another in the series of board books from Phaidon called First Concepts with Fine Artists. It's a simple intro to opposites using art from one of the world's most respected abstract artists, and it's perfect for young children as both an introduction to opposites and an introduction to art. I love this book, and I will seek out more of this series.
