Book Overview
What a concept! Little ones change things into their complete opposites with the help of this delightful interactive book from Robert Crowther. Happy or sad? Old or new? Empty or full? Pull a tab, and a bright green crocodile's jaws go from shut to open, revealing a huge pink mouth lined with sharp white teeth. See that pretty little hummingbird? Flip a flap and a big long-necked ostrich takes its place. Now turn a wheel, and you're in for a carnival ride, circling up and down. From noted novelty-book artist Robert Crowther comes a hands-on book that makes the concept of opposites crystal clear to even the youngest readers.

Great book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
My son learnt the opposites in no time, he also has a lot of fun with all the various push/pull flaps and so on. I think its a wonderful book, with great illustrations and ideas. A must have in my opinion. I agree that things to do tear, but that is true of any book with moving parts. We've had it for 2 years and we've lost the roller coaster and we had to fix the alligator's mouth. My son has been handling it a lot and by no means is it in shreds (he is no more or less gentle than most boys his age).
Great Book, watch the little hands
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The reason books like this one are so great are the moving parts that entertain kids so much. However, it is also their downfall as they rip easily when used by little hands. You have to be vigilant in making sure they are careful or the book will rip to shreds very quiclky. Not recommended for rougher children, unless you plan to keep it out of reach and only read it with them. However, it is a beautiful book with great illustrations and good presenation of opposites.
A Must Have

This book has great construction. If I had more time, I would give this book a review that would do it justice. Check it out! Buy it! You won't regret it.
