This is no ordinary opposites book! Bright, bold animal illustrations pair beautifully with text that informs, compares, and invites the reader to ponder. For instance, elephant ears are big; squirrel ears are little. Elephants flap their ears to stay cool; squirrels move their ears to communicate with each other. Can you mover your ears? Questions invite the reader to consider relative size in the real world as well as on the page.
