The Same But Different Too

Subjects

Average rating

5 out 5

51 reviews

A brilliantly witty introduction to comparisons and opposites, illustrated by the winner of the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award. These children and animals are all very different to each other. Some are big, some are small. Some are gentle, some are rough. Everyone is playful, but who's the best at hiding? One thing's certain: they all love a good bedtime story! Shortlisted for the Sainsbury's Children's Picture Book Award, this is the perfect book for little ones who are just beginning to make sense of their place in the world. Karl Newson has created a simple, funny and heart-warming text, which is perfectly matched by Kate Hindley's charming, brilliantly witty artwork, filled with detail. Related activity sheets available on the Nosy Crow website. ""Newson and Hindley celebrate differences using simple but wonderfully effective opposites and comparisons, with a highly endearing cast of children and animals."" The Bookseller

I liked the cat. I was amazed by the big bunk bed. And I liked the tiger getting wet. It is a good book but wouldn't recommend it (because I want to keep it)

I would recommend this book because it teaches us that we are same but different too - big and small, short and tall, friendly and gruff, gentle and rough, hot and cold, young and old, fast and slow, quiet and loud, alone and in a crowd.
