We've been reading this book to our twins since they were infants. Now, as 2-yr.-olds, they are able to go though page by page and tell us all about what they see. I think it has really helped them get a good start figuring out abstract concepts.Next to "Goodnight Moon" and "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?", this one is consistently picked out for evening reading time.
I find myself changing up my voice (high and low) as I read to my son so he can get the idea of opposites. The pictures are cute, bright and to the point. I didn't give it 5 stars, because there's not a story line. From one page to the next is another set of opposites. If that's what you want, then this book is for you. If you want more of a story to connect from page to page, then you might not like it as much.
My 15-month old insists that we read this book to him at least five or six times a day. It was the first book he picked out to be read to him and he always searches for it on the bookshelf. It's colorful and fun and I hope your child will love it as much as ours does!
These Boynton board books cannot go wrong with the young-uns. My nephews and nieces ask me to read them over and over again.
My toddler loves this book and asks for it by name. It has fun colorful pictures that toddlers enjoy. It only has a few words on each page so it's great for a toddlers short attention span. I'm assuming my toddler has this book memorized because he knows when to turn the page.
Sandra Boynton... Shes a great writer! My 3 year old LOVES her books and we have a good number of them, I would say 10 by now and he loves them all. This is right up there with Blue Hat, Green Hat. If your child loves that one they will love this one as well. Guaranteed! Thank you Sandra Boynton! Our Blue hat, Green hat is so messed up at this point but we still read it... The binding is falling apart and the pages too but we still read it. My son recognizes colors from that book. I can do all the flash cards in the world and point to different colors of food while I cook but that did n0t teach him his colors, that book did.
Nice small baby gift. as a reading teacher, I find books of opposites help develop babies' language. The best one (Had for my kids - can no longer find it): Peter Spier's book on opposites (Can't remember exact title - 30 years ago : ).
Every Sandra Boynton book is a winner for the most part. My 19 month old girl knows her opposites already just because of this book now. She is a huge huge fan of book and these are her favorites! There are plenty of pages and nice number of opposites listed in there for the toddlers to learn. The cartoons are always interesting and leave an impression on kids mind :)
