The Opposite Zoo

Praise

The New York Times Book Review
“Na brings fresh energy to the familiar. With a coloring style that feels as if someone took a firecracker to a box of crayons, Na makes turtle shells as dynamic as a peacock’s plumage.”

Shelf Awareness
“A dazzling concept book for preschoolers. . . . Two monkey thumbs up.”
 
Mashable
“In his new book The Opposite Zoo, artist and children’s book writer Il Sung Na delivers a beautiful lesson in contrast and contradictions.”
 
Kirkus Reviews
“A beautiful treatment of a familiar subject that repays close looking again and again.”
 
School Library Journal
“Na’s winsome illustrations make this title a delightful take on animal opposites.”
 
Booklist
“This picture book will be visually appealing to both adults and children, and it’s a welcome addition to a genre that, for many parents, can often be opposite of interesting.”
