Not bad.
It starts out with simple opposites, until we find a short story at the last third of the book.
My six year old enjoyed the last third and zoned out at the first 2/3rds.
The illustrations are cute and simple.
There are two or three adult idioms that kids won’t understand but they also won’t give them much attention.

P.D. Eastman writes a lot of the Dr. Suess I Can Read books so my daughter picked this up because it was familiar to her. This book had a very easy message and was stated on the last page: "Why make big problems out of small problems?"
Illustrations were the classic P.D. Eastman look. The story rhymed all the way through. 3 stars only because it didn't really jump out at me with story/words or illustrations. It was just average.

I never read this Eastman book as a child. It’s a great beginning book about differences and prepositions. It reminds me a lot of “Inside, Outside, Upside down”. It goes over simple words that my niblings would call sight words. It’s fun while reading
Tall dog and small dog. It’s silly, but the artwork is cozy and warms the heart. The dogs are like the things associated with them. Little dog Ted likes red and little things and big dog Fred likes green and tall things. They do go snow skiing and they make you want to go skiing. They also make sleeping look cozy. I loved this story.
The nephew picked this book out. He thought the dogs were rather funny. A bird also shows up in the end. The nephew said, it could have been much funnier, but he liked the story. He gave it 3 stars.
The best line is the birds at the end and it says, “Why make big problems out of little problems?” That sounds pretty smart to me. Good advice to end a story on.
