clever, funny, educational; it is Mo Willems and brilliant with teaching concepts to the youngest of us。
Caroline,
This playful concept book explores the idea of "bigness" by comparing relatively big things。 Gently humorous, this book gives perspective to size, with the illustrations aiding in comparison (albeit not to scale)。 A twist at the end is funny and comforting。 The illustrations, a departure from classic Willems, work well and are appealing for young readers。 You already know this is going to be a smash hit。 This playful concept book explores the idea of "bigness" by comparing relatively big things。 Gently humorous, this book gives perspective to size, with the illustrations aiding in comparison (albeit not to scale)。 A twist at the end is funny and comforting。 The illustrations, a departure from classic Willems, work well and are appealing for young readers。 You already know this is going to be a smash hit。 。。。more

Bree Sotirovich,
My favorite part of the book is the back inside cover where there is a comparison chart, but at the bottom is Willems' classic humor making sure we don't think his illustrations are accurate in size and that we should use the above comparisons because taking an ant on a hot air balloon on a cloudy night over Australia to gaze upon the galaxies might be a little difficult。The book is bright and great for toddlers to realize what is big and what might not be。 It is also good for preschoolers who a My favorite part of the book is the back inside cover where there is a comparison chart, but at the bottom is Willems' classic humor making sure we don't think his illustrations are accurate in size and that we should use the above comparisons because taking an ant on a hot air balloon on a cloudy night over Australia to gaze upon the galaxies might be a little difficult。The book is bright and great for toddlers to realize what is big and what might not be。 It is also good for preschoolers who are testing out their letter sounds and trying to learn how to read。 。。。more
