Items related to Extreme Opposites
This book should come with a warning: These are not your ordinary opposites, they are EXTREME! Extremely funny and extremely clever, that is. Those old, humdrum pairings neither yawning parents nor woefully wide-awake children want to hear night after night, year after year hot and cold, tall and short, the list goes on have no place in this catalog of catastrophically mismatched antipodes.
The brainchild of Argentine artist Max Dalton ("The Lonely Phone Booth", Godine, 2010), "Extreme Opposites" combines superlatives and opposites to create a book that is both pedagogically superior (why teach your three-year-old just one grammatical category when she could be learning two, simultaneously?) and superlatively engaging. Knights and dragons, castaways and off-hour Santas, dinosaurs and pirates, mimes and scuba divers populate this imaginatively superior universe. And with just two words per page, you and your little one will have more time to linger over the irresistible illustrations and relish this recital of reverse attractions. Opposites have never been more droll, and less dull, than in graphic artist Max Dalton's all too amusing "Extreme Opposites".

About the Author:
Max Dalton lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and has been drawing since he was two or three years old. Max has too many interests to list here from writing to painting to playing music and reading about animals but his all-time favorite is drawing. He is the illustrator of "The Lonely Phone Booth" (Godine, 2010).
From Booklist:
Humorous illustrations are accompanied by two words on each page of this clever concept book. “Too Hot” reveals a knight in armor running with his sword and shield from a fire-breathing dragon, and the next page, “Too Cold,” shows a man standing in the shower, surrounded by ice cubes while more pour out of the showerhead. Solid blocks of black, teal, and rust are the only colors used for the highly expressive pictures, and all are placed on crisp, white backgrounds. Dalton injects overt and subtle humor in the deceptively simple drawings, and though the book’s small size and thick pages will appeal to the very young, older children and adults will appreciate all the fun Dalton includes. One last witty aspect of this book lies in its back cover, which is the complete opposite of the front. This concept book is a standout. Preschool-Grade 1. --Maryann Owen
