Baby's Second Book of Opposites
Conceptual challenges for the young (and young at heart)
New contributor alert! Luís Leal Miranda is a writer and copywriter from Lisbon, Portugal. He authors the newsletter.
Following the success of our breakout children’s book My First Book of Opposites, Chortle Publishing returns with a sequel.
While the first book was a simple and effective presentation of life’s greatest contrasts—tall and short, slow and fast, big and small—My Second Book of Opposites features more polarizing concepts for advanced perceivers of reality, such as:
An island is the opposite of a lake.
A trampoline is the opposite of quicksand.
A belt is the opposite of a hula hoop.
An insomniac is the opposite of a sleepwalker.
A peacock is the opposite of a chameleon.
A lighthouse is the opposite of a mermaid.
A birthday cake is the opposite of a tombstone.
A squirt gun is the opposite of a lighter.
A chewing gum is the opposite of an oyster.
A submarine is the opposite of an aquarium.
An arrow is the opposite of a boomerang.
A time bomb is the opposite of an alarm clock.
An indoor patio is the opposite of a gazebo.
A fortune teller is the opposite of an archeologist.
An indoor plant is the opposite of an outdoors person.
A clown is the opposite of a clown (from the perspective of someone who hates clowns).
Available wherever you buy conceptual children’s literature.

10 Ways Parenting a Toddler is like Being Spider-Man
We all know that being a parent requires superhuman abilities. Patience, for example. Or capacity for dealing with fecal matter. But after months of chasing around a small, cranky monkey that’s magnetically drawn to danger—also known as a two-year-old—I've come to realize that parenting a toddler is specifically like being Spider-Man. Let me be clear: this is not a perk.
