漂流瓶绘本馆·来自梵高故乡的图画书:反义词

by Unknown Author

From the first moment of seeing the terrier in The Umbrella, it was clear that the Schuberts have a knack for capturing expressive animals. In Opposites, the Schuberts have a blast as they present contrasts far beyond big and small. Best of all, the Schuberts let their imaginations fly as high as a crocodile--or perhaps flying crocodiles only happen in Schubert books. A multitude of details will ensure requests for repeat readings.

4,5 sterren - Nederlandse hardcover

Gewoon gek is de dierenwereld op zijn kop. Op iedere pagina vind je een tegenstelling: nat en droog, stout en lief, verstoppen en vinden. gewoon en... gek!

Wat een prachtig prentenboek alweer. Alleen al om de prenten. De kleinkinderen ontdekken er iedere keer wat nieuws in.

Geen tekst in dit boek, dus je kunt eindeloos variëren. Dus voor het kleinste kind tot het wat grotere kind geschikt. Typisch schubert boek dat mooi bij de collectie past.

Really cool pictures that imaginatively present the opposites concept.

[Rose Rosetree · Rating 5 out of 5]

For a ton of fun, Goodreaders, park here and turn the pages.

Ingrid and Dieter Schuberthave such imaginations, such whimsy.

What could have been a predictable book about animals of different sizes and kids. For example, some large and others small, etc.

Oboy! This is such a fun book.

A highlight for me:

* Contrasts the ALONE panda on the left page...
* With the Together animals on the right side of the page, so visually witty and clever; friendly and convivial, wildly textured, and good naturedly harmonious.

FIVE STARS, for sure. Even HIGHEST PRAISE.

Sometimes didn't make sense because both opposites would be on the same page.

[Addison Children's Services · Rating 5 out of 5]

Flying fish and dancing hippos takes the reader on an exploration of the opposites of size, feeling, weather, movements and states of being. 6/4/2018

Very expressive picture book with few words. My kids enjoyed guessing the word on each page based on the pictures

Love the illustrations, but the way some of the opposites taught was odd...

I felt like "brave" should have been "reckless" and "naughty" should have been a stronger word like "mean." I wish the "alone/together" page told more of a lesson about cooperation instead of just being an assortment of animals. I wish the sad/happy spread was happening at the bottom of the hill and the top of a hill separately so it didn't seem like the happy animals were just insensitively celebrating next to an owl funeral. The normal/crazy page was odd too, because who's to say "normal" really exists? That someone merely watching a crazy display should be labeled as normal?

So, all in all, some strange choices. But a great illustrator here.

A book of opposites that features a diverse cast of animal characters acting out each set of word pairs.

This one was only okay for me because I felt that the text should've been bolder because it was sometimes lost in the scene and I wasn't a fan of all the word pairs (i.e. normal/crazy, fight/make-up). The artwork is the biggest draw for this book as many other picture books cover the concept of opposites.

Pretty illustrations, although sometimes I felt like they weren't quite extreme enough for a book about opposites. But I like the idea of this--a group of animal friends demonstrating the opposites through various activities. The shark cracked me up too...

[Paula · Rating 4 out of 5]

Presents a sequence of images that depict contrasting animal subjects in nonsensical scenarios, from a badger who takes shelter underneath a giraffe during a storm to an elephant in a treetop nest that is circled by fish and alligators.

Beautiful and inspiring. Layers of storytelling.

[Sharper1 · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one cracked me up. It's literally just a collection of opposite words with illustrations, but it has some Shrek-y elements in that there's humor for adults as well.

[Edward Sullivan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Clever, mischievous, and completely delightful.

[Iamaby En · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pictures are a little too busy for a bigger toddler storytime, but if you have a small group you can ask questions from, then maybe it might work.

[Juliana Lee · Rating 3 out of 5]

Preschoolers will love to find all the animal characters in this book engaged in opposite behaviors on each two-page spread. Colorful, lively, and endearing.
