Big Dog.. Little Dog, is a fictional picture book. It is about opposites. Throughout the book children learn about different opposites that you encounter on a daily basis. This is also, a great way for students to learn about size difference. I would use this book in my classroom for grades k-2. ( )

“Big Dog Little Dog” is a great book for beginning readers. This book makes comparisons of the concept of big and small. It also provides examples of differences children encounter in their daily lives. For example: wet versus dry, red versus green, slow versus fast, cold versus warm, and many others. This book is written in a poetic format to illustrate these comparisons. The major lesson in this book is to teach children new concepts that they will face in their daily lives. This is seen through the key details of the text along with illustrations on each page. Children can use these pictures to better understand the message of the text. This book is a great read for children to learn new concepts and ideas. ( )

This book lists similarities and differences between two dog friends, Fred and Ted. At the end of the book, readers discover that the two friends can use their differences to benefit them. An example of one of the pages is ,"One day Fred and Ted took a trip. Fred drove a green car. Ted drove a red car." These three simple sentences provide enough information to review similarities and differences between friends because both dogs went on a trip, but the drove different colored cars. From a book like this, readers can practice reading high frequency words, practice comparing characters, and learn about the concept of friendship. ( )
