My 2 y.o. old son has loved this book since age 9 months. Even as a baby, he would crack up when I read the last page with the twins, "Both the same size!" As a toddler, he starts smiling when we get to the page before last...then laughs at the last page...again.

Relying heavily upon vivid pictures of two items placed side by side, this book introduces children to the concept of big and small. Things compared include dogs, elephants, sandcastles, bears, hands, chairs, bikes, leaves, boats, houses, and trees. The last picture in the book shows a set of twin children to show that some things can be the same size. The last page of the book includes paragraphs for each of the items pictured explaining the difference in size between each item (e.g. the hands page shows one adult hand and one child hand). Not that bad of a book, but it is quite simple and rather mediocre.
