Summary:
Partant d’un principe très simple et complètement interactif, ce livre qui s’adresse aux tout-petits propose de jouer pour découvrir la notion de contraire. À la première page, on demande à l’enfant de se saisir d’une forme en carton, un rond rouge, sous laquelle est écrit « prendre ». À la page suivante, on lit « donner » et l’enfant, en plaçant la forme dans l’emplacement prévu qui figure la paume d’une main, mime l’action de donner. Puis, la page suivante propose un carré rouge avec le verbe « casser », en prenant la pièce, l’enfant se retrouve avec deux triangles dans les mains, puis vient « construire », et les deux triangles viennent s’insérer comme des toits de maison. Suivent les notions « ouvrir/fermer », « apparaître/disparaître »… À la fin du livre, surprise ! « Disperser » : on prend deux demi-cercles rouges, puis « réunir », et on retrouve un rond rouge, qui est devenu une pomme… Un livre ludique et intelligent.

Summary:
First published in 1905, German poet Christian Morgenstern’s piece is a darkly comic linguistic caprice. Illustrated with punctuation marks, the text is a romp, and yet the political undertones are unmistakable, suggesting systems of menacing control. Rathna Ramanathan’s art and design invoke well-known icons, styles and genres of early twentieth century western and Russian art and craft to make a compelling argument about freedom of expression. This hand silkscreen-printed edition recreates the conceptual art of the book, with ink, line and paper combining to add depth and texture to every page.
