Pomelo's Opposites by Romano Bedescu and Benjamin Chaud


In keeping with the book I did on Monday, this is another cute little book. This one though, is hefty and thick. Pomelo, being a small, garden elephant who has reached a mild amount of fame in his native France, is not content to just dabble about in the usual up/down, left/right opposites. He thinks up loads of opposites.  


Pomelo was once so small, smaller than the small elephant he is now, that he didn't understand opposites. 


With such a simple concept, the pictures are pretty vital. 

They could have gone with a door for this one. But how much more adorable is an open and closed thistle?



So basically, I went through and took a lot of pictures because the illustrations were so amazingly cute I felt you should see them. 


And what a perfect way to describe a somewhat abstract concept like "extraordinary."


This made the kids laugh. 




This one made me laugh! 


While this book does not have a cohesive plot line from start to finish, you do learn that Pomelo has a bit of an unrequited love for this frog. 



"....errr. Um....." 

Poor Pomelo. So embarrassing to be expected to make conversation with your crush. 


Alrighty. I still forget which is which, so it is important to include this information. 


Ditto!


Hahahah


Poor Pomelo!


And what a perfect way to end a book!

So super simple concept, but brilliant execution!
