Opposites – Opuestos
by Magda Garguláková, Ekaterina Gaigalova (Illustrator)

5 out of 5 stars

There are many opposites in our world, and it is fun to compare and categorize things to make sense of what we see in every day life. Is something heavy or light? Is it curved or pointy? Is it loud or quiet, hard or soft, slow or fast, old or new?

Each page of this book has a myriad of things, adorably illustrated, and separated by their opposites. One page has all the fast things, and the opposite page has… well, the opposite… all the slow things.

My favorite part of the book is the page where the opposites are night and day. During the day, the characters have breakfast together, wear sunglasses, and jump in puddles. But at night, they are “reading in secret under the covers”. I love it! haha! I used to do that all the time as a kid. But in both the night and the day pages, there is a baby crying! haha! Babies are rebels. They cry all the time.
There are lots of fun little nuggets like that throughout the book that made me laugh!

I love that this is a bilingual book with English and Spanish written side by side. This would be so great for anyone learning a new language to expand their vocabulary!
