Olivia's Opposites is clearly about opposites. Olivia is a plain pig and she is intended to help children understand what words mean and what the opposite is. When I first saw the book I thought it was really plain, but then I thought about the books real purpose and found it appropriate. You could have the students look around the room and find things that are opposites. One at a time they could go and show the rest of the class what they think are opposites and the other students and agree or disagree. The book opposites taught by a little pig named Olivia. The pictures and colors are extremely simple. The book is very charming. It is simplicity in itself. From other books in the past Olivia is a big personality and it shows in the illistrations. This book is a very good tool for teaching students the basics on opposites and what makes things opposite. The students would be broke into two groups. Each student would then be assigned an object. After the students in each group have their object, they then have to search for the opposite in the other group's objects. no reviews | add a review
