This is such a fun book to introduce young ones about opposites. The illustrations in this book are very simple but also unique! It makes me feel like I can draw something like this as well. I love how the author started by introducing "the beginning" and ending with the opposite of beginning with "the end". ( )

Those cute little oval characters, the Hueys, return in this fourth and final picture-book devoted to their adventures, following upon The Hueys in The New Sweater, The Hueys in It Wasn't Me, and The Hueys in None the Number. Like the previous installment of the series, in which the Hueys explored numbers, and the idea of zero, here there is a focus on a particular concept: that of opposites. Two of the Hueys, set off by the question, "What's the opposite of the beginning?," compare and contrast many opposites, eventually arriving at the answer to their initial query...

I enjoyed The Hueys in What's the Opposite, both for its humorous artwork, and for its engaging exploration of the concept of opposites, although I did find it a little less entertaining that the previous three titles in the series. Perhaps because there was less of a story here, I wasn't as entertained? I don't want to overstate the case: this was still a fun book, especially if you find author/artist Oliver Jeffers' quirky sense of humor appealing (which I do). Recommended to fellow Jeffers fans, as well as to anyone looking for entertaining books about opposites, and what they mean. ( )

A great one-on-one book to read with a child. Teaches opposite words in a fun way. The pages are a little too busy for a group storytime, though.
