Pooh's Book of Opposites - a review

This sturdy little boardbook from Disney press uses the Playhouse Disney three-dimensional characters to demonstrate opposites. Concepts covered are: big/little, happy/sad, open/closed, neat/messy, backward/forward, high/low, short/long, full/empty, and near/far. Pro's- popular Disney characters such as Pooh, Roo, Eeyore and Tigger will keep a young child's interest. The book not only uses comments by the characters -such as Piglet saying `I am happy"-as an example, but also has text at the top of the page which asks questions (an aid to the reader) such as "Who is *big*? Who is *little*?" In addition, it is nice that they include neat and messy as an example, which most opposite books don't. Con's- One or two of the examples are not going to be clear to young children without the parent/reader's helping them to understand. For example, Roo has a book that is `closed'; Owl's is open. The picture of the closed book is not perfectly clear. (But then again, one need only close the little boardbook to demonstrate.) The other example is long/short. For some reason they have Piglet with his short stick further back in the shot than Pooh with his long stick. Very much in the position of the characters when they demonstrate near and far. Not a big problem but a toddler might get temporarily confused, possibly concluding that sticks in the distance are by nature short. Four and a half Stars. A sturdy little boardbook that uses very popular characters that should keep any little fan's attention.

GOOD PICK FOR THE POOH FAN

I bought this book quite a while ago, and we just love it. My daughter is 20 months old, and loves Pooh. This book is educational, and teaches opposites very well. It's short enough to keep her attention, colorful and an easy read. I would recommend it.
