ROSIE RABBIT'S BOOK OF OPPOSITES
by Patrick Yee & illustrated by Patrick Yee
Yee juxtaposes images of Rosie the rabbit's front and back, Rosie on a hot day and a cold day, Rosie under an umbrella and over a gate. It's the most unique of an otherwise average set of board books, in which Rosie teaches toddler's basic skills: Rosie Rabbit's Numbers, Rosie Rabbit's Shapes, and Rosie Rabbit's Colors. The bright paintbox colors and Rosie herself are the primary attractions for very young readers, but authors such as Rosemary Wells and Byron Barton did it first, and did it better. (Board book. 2-5)
