This follow-up to A to Z: An Alphabet of Animals features a pair of animals on each spread to introduce the concept of opposites in this fun lift-the-flap book.

Animals representing opposites such as big and little, light and heavy, quiet and loud, and more comparisons are hiding on each page of this fun lift-the-flap book! Children meet a variety of animals and bugs, from an owl and a turtle to bees and a chameleon, as they open the flaps to see the size comparisons of the animals.

  • PERFECT FOR: Young fans of animals and bugs

  • FUN AND EDUCATIONAL: Introduces the early concept of opposites featuring adorable characters in an exciting hide-and-seek format

  • INTERACTIVE: Large lift-the-flaps are ideal for little hands
Toddler-PreS–Opposites come to life with flaps for young hands to engage with on every page. “Slim and Plump” feature a pufferfish unexpanded and then all puffed out. Illustrative details make the meanings clear; the well-designed flaps reinforce the concepts. VERDICT Perfect engineering meets engaging content—this is highly ­recommended. --School Library Journal, starred review
