Over six thematic sections, this enlightening French import suitable for kids and adults explains the differences between some commonly confused things (crocodile and alligator, bacteria and virus, clementine and mandarin, etc.). The text is peppy ("What's round, orange, and tangy on the inside? Clementines--and mandarins!"), and each contrasted pair is given a double-page spread illustrated with decorous vignettes set against Pantone-like color screens.
