Before & After is a concept book that illustrates, in the simplest terms, images showing time sequence as well as cause and effect. It's colorful with a focus more on ideas than words, and it includes a few "inside" jokes tucked away for the grown ups.

Appropriate for ages 2 to 4.

Great, funny book for teaching the basic concept of "before" and "after" to young children. The illustrations are simple with bold colors and often silly! A great read for families.

Jullien captures the difference between before and after in this board book. With changes shown through the illustrations, they are funny and sometimes surprising. Long hair before turns into short hair after and then long hair again way after. Question marks are used to ask if the egg really came before the chicken. A roller coaster ride shows a change in hair and expressions as father and child take a wild ride. This book is silly and fun and will result in lots of conversation with little ones.
