Quiet Loud (Leslie Patricelli board books) 17 reviews
Candlewick, 2003
Simple and Cute
My one year old son and I read every night. The colors and the simplicity of the idea makes it easy for him to understand and learn. So further emphasize the difference in quiet and loud, I use my voice, and he laughs.

An Uncommon Friendship: From Opposite Sides of the Holocaust22 reviews
Bernat Rosner, Sally Patterson Tubach, ...
University of California Press, 2001
A vey moving historical book that everyone should read
I was very impressed with this book; for such a difficult subject it was beautifully written. I have been to the Holocaust Museum in Israel, and though the documentation there is quite graphic and disturbing, the voice of the child in Bernie, and the voice of the child on the other side in Fritz, completes a picture that is enlightening, but reveals a picture that no one wants to believe. It ...

Little Simon, 1997
Wonderful book
We keep this one in the car. My grandson loves sliding the different shapes & he's only a one year old. Small enough for little hands, but very sturdy cardboard.

The Contrarian Effect: Why It Pays (Big) to Take Typical Sales Advice and Do the Opposite12 reviews
Michael Port, Elizabeth Marshall
Wiley, 2008
Why it pays big to buy this book and apply what you've read!
I have been in sales for 10 years selling everything from life insurance to consulting to food.
Many people's livelihood is reliant upon selling a product or a service. The world of sales has changed and old techniques and old "truths" are not true anymore. People who haven't realized this yet need to take heed to what a lost sale really is and to the words I am saying now:
"If you wan't to ...

The Givers & The Takers: Discover the Role You Play in the Dance of the Opposites10 reviews
Cris Evatt, Bruce Feld
Papaya Press, 2008
I Didn't Know I Gave So Much!
I used to give too much to everyone: my teenaged kids, my husband, and my co-workers. I was a pushover for the Takers in my life. This book changed me. Reading it was a "Big Aha!" I now say "no" to others without feeling guilty. I walk different, talk different, and dress different, and I've stopped apologizing so much. Until I read THE GIVERS AND THE TAKERS, I was addicted to pleasing others and ...

Random House, 1973
Memories
My son received this book on his third birthday - in 1977. My three year old grandson recently discovered the tattered and torn copy that I had saved. He immediately fell in love with it and proudly annouces that it is "Daddy's favorite book." I'm not sure which "boy" will be more excited when the new copy arrives but in the meantime it has brought back a flood of memories for this Grandma. What ...

Dinosaur Roar46 reviews
Paul Stickland
Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2002
Great for young babies
Our baby loved this book from when she was like 5 months old. It has great contrasty illustrations, not too much text, and you can test your acting abilities as you make "dinosaur fat" and "dinosaur tiny" voices.

Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs! (Boynton on Board)32 reviews
Sandra Boynton
Workman Publishing Company, 1993
Much better than I thought!
My 3 year old loves this book- because of the short rhyming phrases, he was able to memorize the book after only a few readings, and now "reads" it to me. He has alot of fun with it and I think it will help him as he starts recognizing words. I have turned into a big Boynton fan!

The Dance of Opposites8 reviews
Rudy Scarfalloto
Bookman Publishing, 2004
Refreshing!
The Dance of Opposites is one of those books that once you pick it up you can't seem to put it down. You will never look at everyday life in the same way again. This book gives you insight like no other as well as a refreshing twist that you hadn't considered before. We go through each day taking things as they come, when in fact we have the unique ability to change how we perceive the world ...

We first found this book at a library. Now we have to read it all the time, and at least 3 times in a row. I don't know exactly what it is about the book, but my son loves it.

Opposites Attract6 reviews
Shirley Hailstock
Pinnacle, 1999
Sweet, Sweet, Sweet
Opposites Attract, was a good read about how childhood influences affect our growth into adulthood. The main characters were completely opposite in family connection. But when they do connect, how they help each other to grow is so enjoyable. Interesting information on the Sickle Cell disease is handled to the story's advantage. They were able to discard old fears and really share ...

Wet Pet, Dry Pet, Your Pet, My Pet (Dr. Seuss Nursery Collection)8 reviews
Dr. Seuss
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2005
Dr. Seuss is for babies too
This Dr. Seuss book is another one of my 16 month year old's favorite. There are things for him to touch and feel on each page, so it keeps him entertained. Each page is is a different with its own color and theme. The Dr. Seuss nursery books are great for toddlers and babies because they're not too long like the regular ones. So Rock on Dr. Seuss books, rock on.

Black? White! Day? Night! - A Book of Opposites (Ala Notable Children's Books (Awards)) (Neal Porter Books)8 reviews
Laura Vaccaro Seeger
Roaring Brook Press, 2006
Deceptively simple/delightfully surprising
Seeger's work looks deceptively simple but is more often than not quite surprising.
Black White Day Night is another lift-the-flap book of opposites that lives up to her other lift-the-flap projects: The Hidden Alphabet and Lemons are Not Red.
Her bright and unfussy illustrations appeal to children and the cleverness of her designs will appeal to adults. I always find myself genuinely ...

Harvest House Publishers, 2000
Spicy & Tasty Humor
Wow! What a great book! I loved it. Becky is a great writer with the gift of wisdom. God has blessed her and used her life as an "open book." I loved the layout of the book, the scriptures and quotes...each fit the chapter and truly inspired. It's good to know I'm not the only looney wife out there who's husband just doesn't get it, but deals with it anyway! If I could have given it 10 stars ...

Black Cat, White Cat: A Pop-Up Book of Opposites7 reviews
Chuck Murphy
Little Simon, 1998
Beautifuly crafted pop ups
I bought this book for my nephew, and I almost kept it for myself. The illustrations are very clear, and well thought out. The pop up dynamics are just precious. This should not be a book that would get rough-housed around. Some of the pop ups are quite delicate. My nephew is 4 and enjoyed it immensely.
