5.0 out of 5 stars How big is your imagination?, September 15, 2000

By

This review is from: The Opposites (Creative Editions) (Hardcover)

This book is another one of the Mouse Series, and as the others... it is GREAT! This time there are 2 mice trapped inside the book, one white and one brown, and they show you different opposite things about each other... the graphics are beautiful and inspiring... That's what I liked most about it... this book is inspiring because it tells a beautiful story without words and it's up to you to read!... I loved reading it and finding different stories every time, depending on how I was feeling at the time.

Not only that, when you're ready to give it away (and it took me a long time) this book makes a fine present that you can personalize!... I made up my own story and wrote it on the pages as a poem for a dear friend of mine, who happen to be my exact opposite... =)

The funny thing is that I found this book at a toy store... after all it is a children's book (isn't it?), but it became my cherished treasure...

My first nephew is only 18 months now, and I will get this book for him... what a great way to teach him to let his imagination fly by re-inventing the story one time after another!... while, at the same time (without me telling him), he will learn about the opposites!...

I hope you enjoy this book as I did... =)

This series of children's books is one of my favorites. The illustrations are lovely and I love that there are no words, yet, there is still something to learn with every book. Very creative and fun when sharing with your child.
