Brief Summary: This adorable picture book is about two creatures who are different sizes from one another. They get into an argument over who is small and who is big until some even smaller and even bigger creatures come around and really shake things up. The animals learn that everyone is different from each other but that's ok!
Evaluation: This book had a good underlying message of individuality and had humor in it as well. I think this is an excellent picture books for children and especially loved the ending (which you're going to have to see for yourself when you read the book!). The font was big and easily readable, and it relied mostly on the illustrations to tell the story instead of the words (which I expect from a picture book). Also, the colors were enticing and the author used different sizes and formats of font to keep it looking interesting. This is a book that a young reader might be able to read alone because it doesn't contain any complicated words. The quality of the illustrations were good, they were clear and fun to look at.
Rating: I give this book 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it to young readers!
This looks like a good book for introducing the concept of size and comparisons to children.
