Do you know opposites, yes or no? On. Off. Asleep. Awake. Opposites are a piece of cake . . . right? Not so fast! Time for a quick double take. Who knows what’s BIG unless there is SMALL? Does SHORT mean a thing except next to TALL? What is ABOVE and what is BELOW? The answer depends on who wants to know! Writer Susan Hood and illustrator Jay Fleck lead us on a topsy-turvy fun-house journey into the concept of opposites and takes it to the next level — with detours into relative terms and points of view (and a dollop of yin and yang for good measure).

這本書乍看之下是介紹相對的概念，因為是給小孩看的繪本，以為就是介紹概念清楚的相對詞。然而這本書可沒這麼老套喔，第一層次為常見的「相反」相對詞，後來逐漸鋪陳為「相對關係」的相對詞，再提升到更高的層次思考相對概念，配合圖畫從「不同的視角」呈現的視覺效果，愈讀愈有意思呢！
