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
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-KAMiller'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.AElisabeth H.

A little outdated and too big in size,

This review is from: Big and Little (Hardcover)
Most of the pictures seem to be from the 80's so it brings a lot of memories, but the book is too big (in size) for a toddler and there is no story line just pictures with big and small objects.

My 19-month old loves this book,
By In The Woods (No. Calif.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big and Little (Hardcover)
My 19-month old son loves this book. Each spread features a small picture on the left-hand page and a big picture on the right-hand page; both pictures are the same objects and people, but posed differently, showing the contrast of big and little. You'll find feet, hands, balls, boxes, hats, etc. My son studies the pictures, noticing the same objects/people in different poses. Finds it fascinating! This book shows little boys and girls, moms and dads, black, white, and Asian. Nice touch. And just a few words per spread. The pictures mostly do the talking.All in all, a great book. We checked it out from the library, but we might be buying this one if not just for ourselves, but for friends' toddlers. The author has a few other books we're going to look into, too.

This review is from: Big and Little (Hardcover)
I am a speech language pathologist and love this book. Not only has my toddler enjoyed but I have also found it a great tool to use to teach various language concepts to children with disabilities. The photos are clear and uncluttered. Not only can you discuss size concepts but many pictures allow for discussion of spatial concepts and simple noun + verb sentences. Great book for younger typically developing children as well as any other child with a language delay!
