quippeThe Blurb On The Back:
The Squirrels need to be QUIET while watching a butterfly but Roly’s being LOUD - which is the opposite!
Join everyone’s favourite dog in this up-and-down tale for budding young Squirrels.
The Squirrels want to look at a butterfly in the garden and Roly wants to look too but when they ask him to keep quiet, he instead gets really loud. Norrie tells Roly that he’s done the opposite of what they wanted but Roly doesn’t know what opposite means. Fortunately, Duggee has got his Opposites Badge and is able to explain it to them all.
This entertaining educational board book that explains what “opposite” means and gives a number of examples. The illustrations are jolly and young readers will learn about big and small, young and old (although learning that 42 and 3 quarters is old felt like a significant kick in the guts), wet and dry among others. All in all it’s a book that young readers will enjoy and learn something from and perfect for Hey Duggee fans.
I haven’t seen the Hey Duggee cartoon show on TV but I have previously read a tie-in picture book - HEY DUGGEE - FIRST DAY AT SQUIRREL CLUB, which I thought was entertaining. This board book is in a similar vein but much more geared towards younger readers reading it themselves. It’s well made - the pages are chunky and sizing is perfect for small hands.
There isn’t a huge amount of plot to speak of as the focus is more on giving examples of opposite things. It’s perfectly good fun but as an adult currently doing the cha cha slide into 50, I did object to 42 and 3 quarters being classified as old. That aside, young readers will enjoy this book - especially if they are already fans of the show - and there is a chance for them to learn as well, which is always a good bonus.
The Verdict:
