2 year-old is completely fascinated by this book.

Our 2 year old loves books and we own many but she's gone absolutely nuts over this book. It's beautifully illustrated where each page is a visual perception joke. Right-side up the caterpillar is munching on a fruit basket, turn the book upside-down and he's chewing on a man's hair. On another page he sees a mushroom, turned upside-down the negative space becomes the face of two ogres. We received the book as a gift and when I flipped through it I thought it might be too advanced for her visually. (The text is simple and unremarkable.) But from the first reading she was completely fascinated. We've read it probably 50 times in the past three days. I don't know if it will have staying power, and I don't know how many more times my husband and I can stand to read it. But if you have a child who is interested in complex visual images, this is a good choice.
