Review

Opposites are easy, right? This charming books takes a new look at opposites explaining that there are different perspectives to consider. A boy and some of his animal friends demonstrate just how complex opposites can be. They start out with the easy ones, night/day, in/out, and stop/go, but then present some opposites to think about. ("Who knows what is BIG unless there is small?") Fonts are used to demonstrate some concepts like short/tall and big/small. The simple illustrations are delightful and will help any reader begin to think about opposites in a new way.

Overall Book Score: good
