Description

Up, down, in, out . . . Merlin, where are you going? Crisp, bold, stylish artwork delights toddlers as they learn about direction.

Merlin is an energetic bird who likes to fly every which way. He goes to the right, then to the left. He goes above and then below. He starts going straight, then he zigzags--who can ever keep up with Merlin? Sophisticated but accessible artwork features dynamic images in a vividly colorful collage style, making this concept board book a fun read-aloud for the youngest children and discerning parents and caregivers.
