The animal world is filled with opposites-enormous bears and long necked giraffes, tiny turtles and pint-sized hedgehogs. A younger brother and his older sister share a humorous discussion about how certain creatures are big, while others are small. Through their dialogue, kids receive an overview of opposites and a lesson in making comparisons. 'A book is a door, a magic door. It can take you places you have never been before!' Each story in this lighthearted series begins with an invitation to open a magic door and visit a land where tales both entertain and inform. Engaging characters and whimsical illustrations introduce children to everything from basic science to character development. Creative text encourages kids to view reading as fun-a magical doorway to discovering the wonders of their world
