About book Is It Big Or Is It Little? (2013)

How we regard things is all a matter of perspective as this book shows in a series of examples. An orange ball, for instance, seems big to a tiny mouse, but not so big to a cat. As the mouse tries to evade the cat through several pages, readers will notice that the author has employed antonyms all the way to the end when the feline gets its comeuppance, and the end--or possibly the beginning, has been reached. Readers will enjoy following the line of orange that starts on the first page and then ends up tangled around the cat at the book's conclusion. What a wonderful concept book to use in grades K-2! This book illustrates perspective AND opposites, and lends itself to amazing discussions with little folks who are learning to use the vocabulary of opposites. This one is sure to be a favorite for classroom teachers.The simple pictures will inspire adults to encourage kids to illustrate an opposite book of their own. A cut paper and crayon extension activity is sure to be on the horizon.
