Opposites Book Review

Opposites
Written by Xavier Deneux
Published by Chronicle Books, 2013
ISBN:978-1-4521-1725-6


The entire book is full of sets of opposites like outside and inside, small and big, and full and empty.

I loved this book! The colors were great, and there were even some touchable parts for little kids. This book was actually written in french in 2012, but was translated into english in 2013. This being said, there is one part at the end that the opposite of "one" is "lots." I probably would have used the word "many" but it could also be an issue of translation and that is why it seems off. The only other comment I have on this book is that the words are a little small. I would have preferred them to be bigger to make them easier to see.

I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars! Definitely one to keep in the classroom.

  1. I loved seeing this book in class--the bold colors really stand out. This is definitely a fresh take on the beginning informational text.
