A Garden of Opposites

April 1, 2009
PreS-KEight sets of opposites, depicted in a garden setting, include the inside of an apple cut in half and the outside of a whole apple; a big beetle and a small ladybug; a short garden worm and a long snake; a mother bird asleep on a nest and three newly hatched babies wide awake; a closed bud and an open flower with petals, etc. The last page expands to a three-page foldout inviting children to find their own pairs of opposites. Bright, crisp childlike illustrations, with one simple object and one word per page, result in a clean, uncluttered design. An attractive concept book for the very young."Sally R.
