Here's more than one book that will help you
look at things in different ways:
Apples & Oranges, going bananas with pairs - written and illustrated by Sara Pinto
This will send the younger students laughing so much they’ll fall off
their chairs. Sara Pinto has crafted some wonderful pairs, but the expectation
will surprise everyone. Once they get going, who knows what the children will
guess! There are lovely brightly-colored drawings, for example, of a cupcake
and an ice cream cone. The author asks, “How are a cupcake and an ice cream
cone alike?” And of course, one might say, they’re both sweet, or desserts, or
? But when the page is turned, the answer, and funny picture, is “They both
don’t scuba dive.” Very cute, will start lots of comparing conversations about all the pairs and what they "don't" do.
