A Wonderful Book

This isn't just a book of opposites, though that's how the pages are organized, with "large" facing "small, "wet" facing "dry," and the whole book framed by "day" and "night." It's also a story, told through photo-illustrations, about the very usual summer day of two city kids, gathering their toys, walking to the park, playing there with animals and a water fountain, then going home for quieter activities and bed. Preschoolers and even younger children will love how the book correlates activities they recognize with the much harder to understand concept of opposites.
