Concept Books: Opposites



Up! Tall! And High! by Ethan Long
Which bird is the the tallest?  Who can fly the highest?  Along the same vein as Mo Willem's Elephant and Piggie stories, Up! Tall! And High! is full of sarcasm that will delight readers of all ages.

Over and Under the Snow by Kate Messner
While I know many Wisconsinites would not want to talk about what lives under the snow right now, this book is great to inform kids about winter!  This book would be perfect to illustrate the concept of hibernation and deciding what animals do and do not hibernate.

A Garden of Opposites by Nancy Davis
With it finally being Spring, this garden illustrates opposites that a child would find in the garden.  There is a big and little bug, a short and long snake, and an open and closed flower.  


Big Bear, Little Bear by Susan Amerikaner
Based on the movie Brave, by Disney, Big Bear, Little Bear uses illustrations from the movie for this more complex easy reader.
