Big and Little: A Story of Opposites - Hardcover

"Deep, richly hued realistic paintings tell a fuller story than that expressed through the total text of 30 paired opposite words. Pilgrim's detailed, actively drawn animals reflect expressive--and frequently contrasting--emotions, especially through her depictions of the dogs' eyes. . . . Few words pair with lots of humor for a delightful outing."--Kirkus Reviews

" For these friends, there are lots of ways to move through the world, but there's no need for opposites to oppose."--Publishers Weekly

Enormous Big and tiny Little, two adorable dogs, go over and under, deep and shallow, in and out in pursuit of a butterfly.

A simple book that introduces the important concept of opposites to the very youngest readers. Loveable Big and effervescent Little opposite in size--and the way they see and navigate the world--as they follow a butterfly. Their journey is told entirely through pairs of opposite words and gentle artwork, and it's full of surprises, including an unexpected run-in with a cranky bear. Fortunately, Big and Little get from here to there and safely home again, just in time for a well-earned rest. The charming narrative arc that runs throughout the story really sets this book apart from other "opposites" books.
