A Book that Boggles the Mind

I checked out this book from the library and it is a must see board book. The colors  are great for little baby eyes, but I just don't know what to think of it. The only text is the sounds the different characters make, but what really makes this book is that the illustrations are pretty simple and there is this cut-out on every other page that turns one illustration into another. A sheep suddenly becomes a pig from one page to the next. You just have to see it.  I can't decide if this is genius or just confusing.  I definitely want to introduce this book to Kiddo once she can talk and then again when she can read, so I can get a sense of what a child thinks of a book like this.  Not that that will necessarily tell me what it may be doing to my kiddo's brain at 2 and half months. This could also be great for the budding artist, so maybe I could also introduce it again when she starts drawing and see what she thinks of it then.

I guess that means I want this for our home children's library, even though I'm not even sure if I like it. It is just so interesting...
