The Star Trek Book of Opposites by David Borgenicht is a rather silly book that was created for children. The book offers a way for children to learn emotions, actions and objects through pictures that use various scenes from Star Trek: The Original Series. The book is simply a great kitschy gift for Trekkies of all ages.
The official pitch for Borgenicht's book reads, "The Star Trek Book of Opposites will transport you together to an exciting voyage of silly education fun, pairing colorful photographs of Star Trek's classic heroes and aliens to introduce the concept of opposites through immediate visual humor." Although your kids might not yet appreciate the fun and silliness of this book as of yet, you certainly still can.
The author of the book David Borgenicht is the coauthor of all the books in the New York Times best-selling Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series.
