From Publishers Weekly
This is a funny book about opposites with immediate appeal, one that makes the concept readily understandable. Readers will find a memorable roller-coaster ride between up and down; first and last finishings of a race that also evoke the joy of victory and the agony of defeat; offerings of hamburgers or escargots that muster up either appetite or the lack of; hard and soft candy; hot dogs and ice cream; outdoor activities for day and indoor activities for nighttime. The humor in the illustrations is recognizable instantly, and the process of comparing and contrasting one picture with another will stay with readers. Ages 3-8.

Kindergarten-Grade 2 The wry humor of this concept book of opposites makes it an appealing choice. Some pages may be slightly confusing (often both word choices are illustrated on the same page, and ``Quiet and loud,'' showing characters who look like Laurel and Hardy playing instruments, could also apply to the preceding page, ``Big and little''). However, children will delight in discovering the differences in the large, amusing watercolors on each page. The zany nice and nasty an elegant waiter holding one platter of hamburgers and one platter of snails, slugs, and wormswill surely tickle funny bones, and even those libraries not needing books on antonyms may consider purchasing this one for the humor shelves.
