Bow-Wow attracts Opposites Book

Learn all about opposites with Bow-Wow!

Children's Literature

Bow-Wow is not smiling. Why? As he follows what appears to be the white tip of a tail, readers—or, in this case, listeners—will learn about opposites. First, Bow-Wow goes up the stairs and then down them. The tail goes over a fence, and Bow-Wow goes under. Next, the tail heads into an open window, but it is quickly closed because it has started to rain. Now, that is sad because Bow-Wow is outside in the wet, dark world; suddenly a door opens and, dripping wet, he enters the house. What are all those eyes under the couch? Turn the page and see a happy Bow-Wow once again chasing a bunch of tails. There is only one word per page, but each is all that is needed since the pictures tell the story. For those who are older (caregivers reading this book), the endpapers may also elicit some chuckles. There, we see Bow-Wow in black-and-white and upside down as well as right side up.
