4 Stars for the beauty of the book, 1 star for ability to actually teach opposites. We have the "numbers" from this series which was fine. However this book in my humble opinion does a very poor job demonstrating opposites. Each example is distracting from what it is trying to teach.Example outside / insideoutside: a bunny with no background and just snow on top of his earsinside: a weird tan color to convey outside with white dots as snow and a tree to the side, then a circle cut out with bunnies looking at you waving.If your child already has some vocabulary and knowledge of animals, numbers, and weather, then they might think one bunny , two bunnies or bunnies saying hello or snowing, anything but inside/outside.Example night/dayNight : black page with a white crescent glued on in the middleday: white page with a cut out of a yellow circleagain your child might say black , crescent, white, yellow circle but day , night? not so much.So its going back because honestly we already know are animals, colors, etc and found that there are many many easier enjoyable ways to teach opposites. Honestly a pack of opposites cards that show Dora running outside in the sun, and then Dora standing in the dark with the stars and moon and other opposites worked much better than this for us, that is why there are so many books, different styles work for different kids at different times, grateful for return policy.
This book has lovely bold pictures and the cut outs are great for my baby. I started reading this one to her at 3 months and it is still one of her favorites. While I love this book, I do find some of the concepts are a bit beyond baby's range: "caged" and "free". But it is also nice to have a different perspective and broaden baby's imagination and vocabulary early... so this is still 4 stars!
My daughter loves this book. We love how the pages are structured to fit inside one another. The pictures are fun, happy, and colorful! This makes learning a great experience for my daughter. I would definitely buy this book again or other by the same author!
Lovely board book! My 2.5 little boy adores it and requests it quite a bit. I docked a star because the binding was broken when it arrived, it was a quality (not content) issue. My guess is most would not have this issue. Sadly, I missed the replacement/return deadline due to family issues, so we've lived with it and have done some book repair.
It's super cute, I love Deneux's books, but it's true that some of the "opposites" don't really make sense. But... it's not the end of the world and the pictures are SUPER cute. However, I would recommend his Colors book over this one.
I disagree with some of the other reviews that say that concepts are too unclear or abstract. I love that this book is different and makes comparisons that are not like every other cookie cutter opposites book. My son is 15 months old and loves looking through this book.
I was envisioning a really novel take on an opposites board book with cool 3D pages... and it feel somewhat short of my expectation although it does have cute tagboard pictures that give it a little texture. I could see glue around the edges of some of the shapes. Overall, a solid, classic opposites book for little ones.
I like the design of this book... the dimensional aspects and color use. My grandson enjoyed flipping the pages (which are sturdy) and looking at each set of opposites. A great addition to our children's book collection!
