Earth, Sky, Wet, Dry: A Book of Nature Opposites has very few words. But, where the book lacks in words it makes up in illustrations. I liked looking at the pages and comparing the detailed illustrations. It seems liked two totally different worlds. My favorite page was "big and small." The big page showed a giant squirrel and the small page showed an itty bitty bug. If you did not look close enough you might miss it. I think a classroom with younger students would love finding the opposite pictures. They would also be able to sound out each word. This book is a great mentor text for a science lesson. I would challenge my class to create their own opposite nature book with a partner. ( )

Very straightforward and simple, but a great teaching tool for younger kids. Each half of the picture shows us opposites found in nature such as hunter/prey, few/many, dry/wet, stormy/quiet. Would be a nice little project to have kids make their own book of opposites in the same style. ( )

"Earth, Sky, Wet, Dry" is a simple read that describes various opposites in nature. With one word on each page and every other page rhyming, this book would be great for any early childhood classroom. This book integrates many academic concepts such as opposites, rhymes, seasons, etc. It will also introduce children to words such as dormant and prey and would be great for a discussion with early readers.
