About the Author

Author and illustrator Tullio Corda was born in the town of Cagliari on the island of Sardinia off the coast of Italy. Corda moved to Genoa where he obtained a diploma in architecture. While working as a graphic designer, Corda developed a passion for printmaking and oil painting. This, combined with the discovery of a local children's bookstore, led him to study at the 'Stěpán Zavřel' school of illustration in Sarmede, north of Venice. Following his studies at the school, Corda decided to become a full-time author and illustrator of books for children. He now lives and works in Lyon, France.

Reviews

"The companionable relationship between a canine and a feline is cleverly communicated through skillful visual storytelling." -- Publishers Weekly

"The dog and cat characters are perfect foils for this story, with a happy ending that leaves the audience wanting more. . . a wonderful story and charming as well." -- School Library Journal

"Concepts never made me laugh this hard. An orange cat and blue dog illustrate opposites in the most hilarious of ways as they go through a day of waking up, chasing one another, getting into trouble, and ... being friends? A perfect combination of words and illustration, and a concept book that tells a cohesive story." -- Momreadit.com

The faces of Cat and Dog speak volumes in this ode to opposites that packs piles of expressive storytelling into its spare pages." -- The Virginian-Pilot

"The perfect book to introduce or reinforce antonyms to kids." -- Beaglesandbooks.com

"Telling a story with only 32 words seems nearly impossible but Tullio Corda has done it." --SincerelyStacie.com

"Employing a simple palette of vivid oranges and bright blues which expands to include yellow and green, the illustrations implicitly extend beyond the page, drawing us into the action, and leaving visual clues as to what to expect next. . . a good choice if you are looking to share a story with younger children of different ages." - World Kid Lit
