Their clever (not foolish) rhymes and comical (not serious) illustrations combine to highlight key words. Each pair or group of antonyms is printed in color for easy identification.

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3–Cleary describes and illustrates antonyms from the obvious stop and go, yes and no, front and back, fast and slow, to the more obscure: excite and soothe, hefty and diminutive. He elaborates on reasons for celebrating opposites and also describes how to create them through the use of powerful prefixes such as un,dis, im, and non. The illustrations for some pairs must have been quite a challenge for Gable, for example, depicting absurd and somewhat normal in two cartoon drawings. The bouncy lettering style enhances the whimsical rhymes and makes for yet another strong addition to collections of books about the English language.–Kathleen Meulen, Blakely Elementary School, Bainbridge Island, WA

This review is from: Stop and Go, Yes and No: What Is an Antonym? (Words Are Categorical) (Library Binding)
This is such a fun way to introduce parts of speech without kids needing to stress about it, they can just sit back and have fun and learn. We love reading together and the kids have really enjoyed these, even before they can really understand the English lesson being taught... We have most of this series and would purchase them again in a heartbeat! They are not a curriculum... just a wonderful fun addition to teaching :-)

This review is from: Stop and Go, Yes and No: What Is an Antonym? (Words Are Categorical) (Library Binding)
Great stuff. Interesting word choices. Those crazy cartoon cats. I love how in this series of books which explains synonyms, homonyms, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions and more, Cleary can take the complex and make it simple, funny and teachable. He's also written one of my favorite books of poetry-- RAINBOW SOUP; ADVENTURES IN POETRY.
