Customer Reviews

What a great book for learning opposites and much more!

I love this book! It's much more than an opposites book, as it ties all the opposites into a story, which I love and my daughter seems to enjoy. It's the tale of a car traveling on a long, long trip home---UP big mountains, DOWN low valleys, along NARROW roads, along WIDE roads, past FULL trucks, past EMPTY trucks...and so on. After trying through day and night it finally gets home, and you find yourself really rooting for the little car and happy to see it home! The pictures are sort of day glo and clear, and my daughter loves finding details like the moon, but there are not so many details you get overwhelmed. One of the best board books we have found!

I really like it!

This book has a lot of cars in it. I like the rhyming and learning about opposites. We are buying this book for my cousins birthday - he is two. I remember this being one of my favorite books when I was little. If you really like cars, like I do, you will really like this book.
