Through the clever use of gatefold flaps, this book teaches the concepts of big and little. This simple story can be used as a novelty book, as an early reader, and as a literacy tool for those who cannot read English, since the story tells itself through expressive illustrations. Full color.

Each spread of Big and Little shows animals that are related to each other but vary greatly in size. All animals are illustrated on the same scale, so readers can compare them throughout the book.

John Crowley's masterful Little, Big is the epic story of Smoky Barnable, an anonymous young man who travels by foot from the City to a place called Edgewood—not found on any map—to marry Daily Alice Drinkawater, as was prophesied. It is the story of four generations of a singular family, living in a house that is many houses on the magical border of an otherworld. It is a story of fantastic love and heartrending loss; of impossible things and unshakable destinies; and of the great Tale that envelops us all. It is a wonder.

A little girl compares objects around her of different sizes.

A mother provides examples of how her toddler is both big and little, including little enough to ride through the park in a stroller but big enough to make the pigeons fly away. 3-7 yrs.
