Though their shapes and sizes are exactly the same, they are opposites in every other way and this troubles the two.

When points of view are starkly different, you say they're as different as night and day. But if you are, in fact, Night and Day, do you have to be worlds apart?
In this delightful book adaptation of Pixar's 2010 short by the same name, two doughy shaped fellows named Night and Day discover that being different is nothing to be afraid of.
Against a backdrop of blackness, Day wakes up with a skip in his step. Birds swirl around inside him, flowers bloom in his belly and for a time he lays back soaking in the rising sun.
But as Day gets up to walk again he comes upon Night curled up on the ground sleeping and is startled because he's never seen anything like him.
Uneasy about what Night is, Day tries to slip past him unnoticed. But at that moment Night wakes up, equally out of sorts.
"Yikes!" they yell at the same time as each stumbles back from the other.
Though their shapes and sizes are exactly the same, they are opposites in every other way and this troubles the two.
Day pokes Night in the belly, trying to figure out what a crescent shape we know as the moon could be.
This, however, doesn't sit well with Night and he gives him a right jab to the face and drops him to the ground.
(Look closely at Day's stomach and you'll also see a lumberjack felling a tree at just the same time.)
Soon, the two are wrestling with abandon, but as Night puts Day into a headlock, he notices something delightful in Day's stomach: a red butterfly.
Night has never seen a butterfly, and can't help but stop and stare.
Then, a thought clicks on in Night's head (just as a house lights up in his stomach), and he turns his insi

*Picture/chapter book, contemporary
*Two best friends, elementary-aged girls as main characters
*Rating: Super cute and clever book, Bink and Gollie will have fans young and old.
Short, short summary:
Bink and Gollie are best friends, and they are about as opposite as you can get. In the three stories in this book, Bink buys a super loud pair of socks, and Gollie tries to get her to abandon them by compromising. In the second story, Gollie is on a pretend trip, climbing the Andes Mountains; and in the third story, Bink has a fish named Fred, and Gollie might be feeling a little jealous. The illustrations in this book are wonderful, and the text is written by an award-winning children’s writer and a New York Times Bestseller.So, what do I do with this book?
1. Depending on the age of the children whom you read this story with, they can create their own Bink and Gollie adventure. They can write the text and illustrate. If you teach young children or have a young child at home, you can write the story together.
2. Bink and Gollie try to compromise in the first story, but Gollie really just wants Bink to give in. When Bink finally comes up with a compromise, what’s the difference? Ask students to give a definition of compromise. Have any of them ever compromised? What’s another way Bink and Gollie could compromise?
3. In the last story, Bink must sacrifice having Fred as her “marvelous companion” in order to save his life. Ask students what they would have done in this situation. How would they feel? Was there any other possible solution? Why do they think Gollie really did what she did?
