The pictures look so old-fashioned, which is odd considering the text was copyrighted in 1995. This is a good opposites book, but something about it reminds me of a Seuss book.

[Modboy · Rating 2 out of 5]

A simple book of adjectives (old, new, long-ago, just-for-show) featuring cars driven by dogs. No plot but an enjoyable read for the 2-3 year old crowd.

Filled with colorful and varied types of cars, this is a great book to review opposites. In addition to the cars, children will laugh and enjoy the cute dog drivers of the cars.

[Mary Anne · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a perfect little picture book, just right for 1-3 year olds, with all the important information about cars.
