It seems like it's meant to teach some basic English words, but uses too many misleading illustrations that make them hard to learn.

Bold and colorful illustrations will certainly please many children.

Picked this up at the library today when we went to babytime. Great bold colored images.

BOld cut-out illustrate this minimal- text board book. Try for Alzheimer's story time.

[Rochelle Sondae · Rating 2 out of 5]

Simple text with bold illustrations for each concept.

Very nice in baby/toddler storytime.

[Ciera · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book to show kids opposites. Short and sweet

[Cheryl · Rating 3 out of 5]

A concept book that is a little too artsy and a not quite clear enough. Best for families who hang Warhol's tomato soup poster in the nursery....

[Nadina · Rating 3 out of 5]

A little too abstract for my liking. Colors were good for young readers. Definitely more of a one-on-one and interact with your kid book than a storytime title.
