Miss Meg recommends What's the Opposite by Oliver Jeffers
Author/Illustrator Oliver Jeffers has brought the Huey's back in this simple book about opposites. Entertaining and quirky, the book explores the concept of opposites with a slight play on words and visual puns. While at times overly sophisticated for the very young reader, Jeffers' humor is laugh aloud fun. Up and down, high and low, with one Huey asking another "what's the opposite of beginning," this is a clever and appealing concept book.
