How are an apple and an orange alike? Think you know the answer? Try again- there are more similarities than you think. With more than a dozen silly pairs of everyday items, everyone will have a chance to guess...right, wrong, or somewhere in between!
"Hilarious drawings perfectly complement the theme, which could be summarized: logic is for sissies. Absurdity is more fun. 'How are an apple and an orange alike? They both don't wear glasses.' 'How are a bird and a kite alike? They both don't talk on the phone.' And so on. The watercolor and ink drawings reinforce dissimilarities: the bird is pictured chirping away on a cordless, while the kite is talking at a pay phone. With comic efficiency, Pinto throws a dash of cold water on the mind-set of simple test answers and obvious questions."-The New York Times Book Review
"This is the kind of book children will want to hear whenever they need a good laugh."-St. Louis Dispatch
"As in untutored art, Pinto's detailed scenarios stint on perspective and primar- ily underscore punch lines. An open-ended conclusion transfers the author's un- predictable comedy into the audience's hands, inviting a different outcome with every reading." -Publisher's Weekly
