Using lifesize animals and intriguing rhymes, this delightful first picture book demonstrates simple opposites for the very young. Heavy baby elephant holds his trunk up high. Light little butterfly flutters down nearby. Hello, pretty butterfly! Using life-size animals and intriguing rhymes, this delightful first picture book demonstrates simple opposites for the very young. Two giant foldouts: Unfold the pages and discover a rough scaly crocodile studying a smooth brown egg, slow-moving snails chased by frisky kittens, and chicks and chickens nuzzling together. Animal favorites are shown -- as big as life -- in breathtaking color, turning opposites into fun for both parents and children!

Ages 2-5. A joyful interactive book for preschoolers, this large volume uses life-size photos of animals, beautifully reproduced in full color, with a simple rhyming text and questions to get kids naming, thinking, and talking. The concepts are simple opposites (big or little, fast or slow, front or back, open or shut), but they are presented with a theatrical flair that will spark all kinds of questions. A baby elephant swings its heavy trunk as a light butterfly flutters nearby; a cock wakes the house with its noisy sound, while a mouse is "quiet and quick and scurries around." In a centerfold double foldout a baby crocodile with its rough, scaly skin is opposed to the fragility of a smooth, small egg, its shell just beginning to crack. A great way to show the very young the drama of the world around them--and how books can tell them all about it. Hazel Rochman
PreSchool-K?Large full-color photographs show familiar animals of varying sizes, such as the heavy baby elephant next to a light little butterfly, and a big mother chicken with her little chicks. Size is more accurately depicted here than in some of the publisher's other titles and the pictures are bright and appealing. Unfortunately, some of the illustrations get lost in the gutter. There is a fold-out of a rough crocodile, which is compared with a smooth egg. A serviceable concept book.?Margaret C. Howell, West Springfield Elementary School, VA
