This book consists of a young girl looking through her garden finding lots of opposite things. Such as a short caterpillar and a long snake. The illustrations are very colorful and any young child would love the vivid images. Overall I think this would be a great book to use as an introduction to reading to a very young group of students.

Beautiful, bright illustrations show us that there are many opposites to be discovered in a backyard garden. Young children will thoroughly enjoy comparing a “plain” butterfly with one that is “fancy,” “alike” clover with clover that is “different” and a “dull” shovel with “sharp”pruning sheers. A glorious gatefold encourages readers to discover many more depictions of opposites and sturdy pages make this a great choice for a classroom library.

26 pages, great for toddlers and preschool

This creative and colorful book is about all the opposite one can find ina garden, a short catepillar and a long snake, a big lady bug and small lady bug. This book is a great way to teach opposites but also what one can find in a garden. (
