Summary

Published Reviews

Booklist Review: "Ages 1^-4. Clear, full-page color photographs with one-word captions show the opposites in the ordinary activities of a sister and younger brother during one day. The girl reaches for a book high on the shelf; on the opposite page, the boy crouches low with his toys under the table. Under the trees they play with their large dog; on the opposite page the girl looks at one small ant on her arm. With expressive faces and body language, each active picture suggests a story, and preschoolers will enjoy talking about the feelings and dynamics in each scenario. Is the girl a little downcast in one picture? Or is she thoughtful? Tired? She's certainly having fun later. The children are loud in the bathtub, quiet as they listen to a story. Most evocative is the final beautiful pairing: near as Mom tucks the boy in bed; far, the view through the window of the dark city night. --Hazel Rochman"

Publisher's Weekly Review: "A lively brother-and-sister team (accompanied by Mom) demonstrates the literal ups and downs of a typical day in this well-executed photo-essay about opposites. On a sunny afternoon, the kids run fast and walk slow on the way to the park, romp with a large dog and observe a small ant, splash in a wet sprinkler, then snuggle in dry towels and so on, until they finally settle into bed at night. Crews (You Are Here) is highly skilled at seeing through her photographic lens with the eyes of a child. In the sharp playground shots here, the two children clearly find joy and fascination in their everyday playÄand express these reactions in a completely natural way, as if no photographer were among them. The jacket image, featuring a preschooler making a roughÄbut gleefulÄlanding from a slide, sets the tone for the fun inside. Ages 4-up. (Oct.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved"
