Big and Little

by Margaret Miller, Margaret Miller (Illustrator)

Overview

As she did in Now I'm Big and Can You Guess?, Margaret Miller again creates a world of fun and learning with her lens. Relative size is a concept the youngest children can enjoy as they view a child's hand and an adult's hand, a large block and a tiny block. Each vibrant, colorful spread explores size in a way that will delight young viewers and make for a happy learning experience wherever there are little hands to turn the pages.

Editorial Reviews

PreS-K--Miller's appealing, colorful illustrations and minimal text explain the concept of size. Using pleasing photos of adults and children of varying ages, the author reinforces the idea on each double-page spread. For example, a small picture on the left that shows an older boy posing with a toddler illustrates the phrase, "Big boy, little boy. Read to me." In the full-page photo on the right, the boy shares a story with the youngster, who is perched happily on his lap. All of the objects featured (such as feet, hands, toy trucks, dogs, and fruit) will be familiar to young children, who will enjoy identifying which one is large and which is small. This wonderful book could be used in all kinds of settings, by parents, caregivers, librarians, and teachers. Add this bright, cheery title to your collections.--Elisabeth H.
