Customer Reviews

a fantastic pull-tab book

A well-done book of opposites for a little one to read or play with. The art is fun, the storyline quick but engaging (Woof wants to find his little red ball and everyone helps), and the pull-tabs add a delightful element of cleverness (they create the "opposites"). The pull-tabs are sturdy, although I would probably wait until your child can handle a pull-tab without too much destruction--the tabs pull down/out a good bit and could easily bend under a child's enthusiasm. But don't let that hinder you from picking up this fun book. The design is well thought out and the "opposites" play well within the story. I highly recommend this title.
