PS
This title encourages youngsters to flip the book on each and every double-page spread to experience the opposite. A bird flies high, but when turned over is headed in descent. A snail in the rain stays dry by clinging below the leaf, but gets wet when the book is reoriented. McLean’s rhyming text flows smoothly and pairs well with Hunt’s clean, soft-toned graphics. Also in the series: Upside Down Animals. Review covers these titles: Upside Down Animals and Upside Down Opposites.
