Product Description
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K–"Pretty/Not So Pretty. Dark/Not So Dark." Spare text and homely pictures introduce this variant on the concept of opposites. Paired scenes feature the flat, comical figure of a crudely sketched girl, digitized and shaded in medium color tones via Photoshop, who sports jagged twin ponytails and lashes only on the bottom rims of her round eyes. The minimal text appears in chunky letters. For "Tasty," the child is shown, tongue licking her lips, holding a chocolate cake; turning the page to "Not So Tasty," readers see her looking aghast at the fallen cake, upside down on the floor. Sometimes an animal companion joins her; at other times, she stands alone with just a few objects on a bare page. The opening positive example is always set on white with the reverse view on a colored backdrop. The repetitive scheme with bits of humor should work well with children who enjoy language play. The volume's modest size is comfortable for small hands, and the simple scenarios offer multiple possibilities for conversational reading.– Margaret Bush, Simmons College, Boston

empowers early readers, Aug 9 2007
By BostonSooner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Little Book of Not So (Hardcover)
This book's simple concept is an excellent educational tool. It is a fun read. My daughter loves this book. She is a preschooler who wants to read. She knows what each page says allowing her to "read to me". So many early reading books are dry, or have random words that are hard to connect. This book is simple and interesting.

This review is from: The Little Book of Not So (Hardcover)
This book is useful in teaching the concept of opposites to toddlers. It features a little girl doing various activities. For example the little girl is in the dark on one page. Then on the next page the light is turned on and she says "not so dark".
