Reach for this book when your child has entered the delightful yet exhausting contrary stage, where every yes is a no and every instruction is met with its exact opposite. It provides a playful, low-stakes way to mirror this behavior back to your child through the absurd antics of Little Miss Contrary, who lives in a world where muddle-headedness is the norm. The story follows a character who says and does the opposite of what she means, from her choice of footwear to her confusing conversations with Mr. Happy and Mr. Greedy. It is an excellent tool for teaching the concept of opposites and the importance of clear communication. By laughing together at the confusion Little Miss Contrary causes, parents can gently highlight how words impact our interactions without being preachy or corrective.
