Review :
"[Highly recommended] ... An activity book about contrasts and opposites set in the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk of California. ... creative author ... [s]uitable for children ages 2 - 8." - Midwest Book Review
"[A] desirable book to provide new parents at the birth of their child ... to about age 3 or 4 ... this teaching aid uses a 'compare and contrast' paradigm ... blocks upon which further education is built ... relevant throughout ... growth and learning stages ... may make comprehension of the underlying concepts that much easier for the child. ... [V]ivid colors ... maintain the attention of the very young." - Lee Ashford for Readers' Favorite
"Great for small children learning the differences between all kinds of things. Reminded me of my days on the boardwalks in Southern Cal and NJ." - Split Infinity
