When words and pictures disagree

In The Wrong Book, early-learning concepts such as colors, feelings, day and night, and opposites are turned into a playful mismatch between labels and illustrations. A banana may be paired with the word “apple,” while familiar categories are cheerfully scrambled. That contrast invites young children to notice how words shape meaning—and to decide whether the picture or its label is “right.” The book combines concept play with absurd pairings, making language itself part of the joke.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children exploring colors, opposites, and familiar words
  • Adults seeking a picture book to share and discuss with early learners

Book overview

Can a horse be a fish? Maybe a hat is a shoe and a butt is a face.

The Wrong Book is a humorous book geared for early learners where red is blue, happy is sad, night is day and mom and dad are aliens. Artist and illustrator HuskMitNavn's (RememberMyName) unique and bold illustrations only ratchet up the absurdity as a picture of a banana is accompanied by the word apple, and the reader is left to decide what is real, the object or the word. Completely wrong in just the right way, this children's book plays with language and meaning just enough to provoke thoughtful laughs along the way.
