Great!

My 2 yr old (almost 3) loves this book. Initially, it was a bit much for him as there are more words on the page than he was used to, but now he loves it. He loves the pie at the end.

Great book, I hope more are coming!

This is a great, great book, and appeals to all in the age group that is described. I have to read this thing at least 4 times every single night. The colors are fantastic and the story is just very funny. Poor Bob. He and Larry serve as voluteers for Archibald's opposites lessons and well, Bob is short so he gets the short end of the stick! While Larry gets a chocolate pie, Bob gets a sour lemon! Poor Archibald gets it in the end from Bob and it's pretty funny! Nothing like a chocolate pie in the face to send a toddler off laughing! It's also nice to use these books to break up the monotony of learning so much "stuff" in the early years of school. They're just so very funny and you don't forget them. How can you forget the opposite of clean when Archibald is standing there with a pie in his face? It's very well done and I sincerely hope that there are more of these because if there are, I'm buying them all! Highly recommend!

awesome

My daughter is barely two, but absolutely loves this book. The pictures are very bright and colorful, and they are very thick and sturdy. The people who designed this book were thinking about children this age. The pages are not thick like a board book, but not really thin like a regular book, therefore, it would be much harder for a children to tear the pages of this book, especially accidentally. The story rhymes like all of the bob and larry books or videos. This is also good for the children. The length of the story is great too. It is not too long with too many opposites because too many would make the book overwhelming to children this age. This is my first veggie book in the educational series, but I am going to get the other ones that are available. How can you lose with veggie tales and books together.

Opposite of "wasting your money"... this one's a winner.

Poor Bob suffers so, as he and Larry help Archibald teach a lesson on opposites. But a suprise ending will keep kids (and grown-ups) reading and laughing along with the loveable Veggie Gang!

Archibald's Opposites

Those wacky veggies have done it again. This time they teach ages 3-7 the concept of "opposites" while carrying on their usual silly antics. My first grade class begged me to read this book again and again when they wanted a little silliness added to their day. It challenged them to think of additional sets of words that were opposite of each other after each reading.
