    About this ebook

    Meet best friends Fred (Big Dog) and Ted (Little Dog) in P. D. Eastman’s classic Beginner Book. Though one is big and one is little, and one loves green and one loves red, these pup pals—along with their helpful acquaintance, Bird—prove that opposites can be the very best of friends.

    Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning.

      Simple enough for any kid with the bare basic proficiency in reading :)Or, you could read it aloud to a younger child, that works too.My nieces (5 and 2.5) request this book often enough. I'm not sure what grabs them - the opposites, Fred's plain bad luck, the silly problem and solution at the end - but they do like it a lot.

      A book about two mutts who are opposite in every way, but best friends nevertheless. This pre-school book is a great opportunity to present to the children that everyone is different in their own way but special.
    • 5/5
      This classic book from P.D. Eastman tells the story of Fred and Ted, two dogs that are friends but also polar opposites. The book illustrates (both literally and through the text) how the two differ in a variety of ways, both physically (i.e., the big and little referenced in the title) and through personal choices. Things get especially hairy when they visit a hotel and the big dog ends up in a tiny bed while the little one sleeps in a super-large one. I shared this book with my toddler class for a unit on dogs, and they absolutely loved it. They asked to hear it again on multiple occasions. Best of all, just by listening to this book they were absorbing information about the concept of opposites while learning that friends can enjoy different things/be different from one another yet still have fun together!
