Readers learn to spot opposites in the world around them as they explore engaging text about a relatable narrator's journey through their community and the opposites they see around them. This essential early elementary curriculum concept is presented in a creative way, featuring achievable language that fosters the development of strong vocabulary skills and a love for independent reading. However, even those who aren't comfortable with independent reading can have this charming narrative read aloud to them as they follow along with the bright illustrations. "The books in the series The World Around Me aim to bring common phenomena in preschoolers' worlds to life through fictional narratives framing fact-filled content. . . . These books are useful for classroom units for younger children as well as browsing." --Booklist (Series Review)
