This is short and to the point. I love the imagery and I think this is going to make for a very short and easy storytime title even within the board book format.

The cover was great, but two issues had me in a daze. The colors and illustrations were out of wax. The colors were bright and dazzling to the eyes, while the illustrations' shapes were blotchy and sometimes undefined. This book needs some tweaking to make it a great read.

This is a most adorable and well illustrated book of opposites for toddlers. Two of my favorites include inside and outside with a chick and its shell, and wet and dry with an unhappy wet cat followed by a dry kit under an umbrella. All of the pages are cute and engaging. I wonder which ones a child you know will most enjoy!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

Review to come February 7th to blog/goodreads.

I received these books from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review~

I really enjoyed Animal ABC, Animal 123, and Animal Colors, so of course when I saw these cute books I had to press that read now button. I had to read them! And right after requesting them I went to read them. I just couldn't wait any longer. I was at first worried as the Opposites one wasn't working on my PC (the pictures were just the shadows of the animals) but it did work through the Netgalley app on my phone.

I thought it would be the most fun to write a review for both books! So here we go~ In these two books we get to see Animal Shapes and Animal Opposites. From small crocodiles and big crocdiles to a square aquarium for two very fat goldfish. I had so much fun flipping, well OK, swiping through the pages and get to see what was next. I have to say that it worked perfectly on my phone as the surprise was even bigger. With a physical copy you get to see the two pages immediately and with the phone you just see one part and then the next. With some of the opposites of course you could easily guess what was next, at least if you know your opposites. XD But with the shapes? That one held a fun surprise each time. What animals and what about the shape. Like the heart, I hadn't expected that as the next one. So I was definitely happy. For once I didn't mind reading these books online. And I loved the various opposites, some made me laugh like the shark who went fast. Or the oval, good luck with that one!

I really love the illustration style. Nikolas Ilic just has a wonderful and zany style that makes you giggle. The eyes especially at times. XD

All in all, I think these two books are a wonderful addition to the rest of the series and I think kids will absolutely love it. The opposites and the shapes are well done + the colours are popping + the illustrations are fun. Learning your shapes and opposites is fun!

I love these books by Nicolas Ilac! Animal opposites has funny and engaging illustrations perfect for little ones. They are perfect for young, curious children. Thanks #NetGalley
