Carry and Learn Opposites

In this board book with tabbed pages and a handle, fourth in the Carry and Learn series, interactive elements like sliders and texture accents help children explore opposites in a farm setting. In the first scene, moving a vertical slider causes two small chickens to bounce “up and down” in a chicken coop; later, two cows with flocked black spots appear in and beside a barn to demonstrate “in and out.” Ward’s digital illustrations are generically cheerful but appealing, and readers will also pick up the animals’ names and characteristic sounds along the way. A closing spread with five flaps helps recap what’s been learned and reinforce each pair of opposites. Up to age 3. (Jan.)
