Although Barney can get real old real fast, this is a wonderful book that helped all three of my children to learn their opposites. The bright colorful pictures easily depict understandable concepts of easy first time learning opposites. It makes it easy to teach and fun to learn for all the kids. Overall a great learning book.

Barney does it Again (Book of Opposites), February 24, 2005

In this sturdy med-sized board book of opposites the purple wonder teaches all about full/empty, on/off, awake/asleep, open/closed, tall/short, hot/cold, big/little, wet/dry, and front/back.

My children were really attracted to the colorful pictures and I found that there were alot of other ideas to discuss in the book as well. For example, Barney's *shiney* vest, what was actually in Barney's lunchbox (yummy grapes, apple, sandwich, etc.) and the fact that there were 3 scoops of ice cream on the cone (1,2,3).

Simply a nice little educational book.

adequate but not innovative, not challenging

I love this book for young readers, it has a familiar character that they are used to introducing the concept of opposites in clear illustrations.

Read to my son while in the doctor's office waiting room. He enjoyed it, and it helped pass time.
