I loved the large, clear illustrations in this book. They showed how much fun the friends were having using bright, vibrant colours that showed cute expressions. There was very little text in the story, but it was still a cute book. The discussions and vocabulary development that can occur while talking about the pictures will make this a winner for toddlers and young children. There is so much happening in the pictures. I'm not sure about using it to reinforce opposites though, I must have missed something. A good choice for a family library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )

Very simple story of a surprise party. The colorful illustrations and simple text with please the youngest aspiring readers. ( )
