This book was my favorite of the VeggieTales series when I was younger, and I can see why. I read the rhyming text in Archibald's voice, and laughed out loud at the ending, which I had forgotten. Since this book involves conflict, it is far more entertaining than most books about opposites, and it teaches the concept in a memorable way by showing the contrast between Larry, who gets light, warmth, and lemonade, while Bob is stuck in the dark at first, gets a giant ice cube placed on his head, and is handed a lemon. The mini emotional drama is well-played up to its full comedic climax, and this is by far the best entry in this super-dated series from my childhood.
