Contrary Creatures: Unique Animal Opposites

This vibrantly illustrated nonfiction picture book goes beyond the expected and usual opposites by comparing differences like migration habits (or lack thereof) and sleeping schedules. Its clever text and art will catch readers’ attention and make them think about opposites they hadn’t before.

“Some animals live only in stories and legends, while others are real but seem make-believe.”

The bold and colorful art features animals not often found in opposites books, such as snow monkeys, sea dragons, and peacocks. This is an eye-catching and thought-provoking concept book that spans the years, appealing to nature-loving readers as well as younger explorers still developing their skills.
