What Is Black and White?

Petr Horacek, Pete Horacek. Candlewick Press (MA), $4.99 (14pp) ISBN 978-0-7636-1460-7

Two new board books by Petr Hor cek burst with color, shrinking pages and clever designs. In What Is Black and White?, young readers learn that ""the night is black"" and ""the goose is white"" as the die-cut pages grow smaller. The last spread shows a zebra whose body is partly made up of the graduated pattern formed by the edges of the previous die-cut pages. Luscious fruit fills the shaped pages in Strawberries Are Red. A die-cut on the last spread reveals a fruit salad. ( June)
