REVIEW
This a great book for 3 and 4 year-olds to learn about opposites. On some pages, two items, concepts, or states of being which are opposites are presented in simple words and photographs of children. Examples are the front and back of someone's head, "walk" and "don't walk" traffic signals, and the idea of top and bottom. In other instances, one concept is presented on a right-hand side page and its opposite is presented on the other side of the page. For example, one page shows a girl eating a strawberry and asks, "What's the opposite of sweet?" Once the page is turned, the answer "sour" appears and we see a girl holding a piece of lemon with mouth puckered and eyes closed. Images are clear and relate quite obviously to the text below them in all cases, and children will enjoy guessing the opposites, making this a recommended book.
