Horn Book Review
Uncaptioned pairs of gloriously colored photographs provoke thought and discussion on the subject of opposites; as a challenge, some of the pictures include more than one concept. Every time children approach the double-page spreads, they will discover something new. Practical for sharing with a group and for individual browsing. From HORN BOOK 1990, (c) Copyright 2010.

Kirkus Review
Again selecting an intriguing variety of subjects from city and country--and presenting both animate and inanimate objects with a delightful use of color--this fine photographer pairs uncaptioned images that explore the concept of opposites. Sometimes the ideas are simple: the same gate, open or shut, though even this pair extends an idea from the previous page--an open and closed hand that also represent left and right. Some of the multiple ideas are subtle enough to provoke discussion: Is a swimming duck the opposite of a diving duck? Or is this pair merely a reiteration of the head/tail pairing already introduced with two views of a sheep? Beautiful, elegantly composed, nourishing to eye and mind.
