This bright, graphically-interesting and fun book offers pairs of opposites in a garden setting. The opposites are very basic such as open/closed, long/short, and asleep/awake. Davis’ illustrations are big and bold, filled with bright colors that will shout out to a group easily. Equally likeable is the font and text size which will work well for reading aloud but also for new readers just figuring things out.

Okay, it's opposites so:
Sturdy paper and stitching ARE toddler friendly.
The fold out end page is NOT.
Some of the pairs such as "big and little" and "short and long" ARE easy for younger children.
The pairs of shamrocks with "same and different" ARE NOT.
Nice book, but a little extra editing and planning would have helped.

Opposites abound in a colorful garden, including a closed bud, and open blossom, a short caterpillar, and a long snake. The final page in the book is an I, Spy game applying the opposites learned in the book.

Really, really cute book with one word and its opposite displayed with very simple bright colorful illustrations. Perfect for reading aloud and teaching very young children opposites.
