(3) K-3 Using pieces from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the book intriguingly explores the concept of opposites. The pieces themselves are wide-ranging, including a thirteenth-century Indian sculpture (representing "big") and a trash can designed in 1996 (for "empty"). The text is focused and interactive, encouraging children to make connections while answering both closed- and open-ended questions; the reproductions are large and inviting.
