<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Size is relative, but everything is worth seeing in this ideal introduction to the concept of scale from the illustrator of "And Tango Makes Three." Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Size is relative, but everything is worth seeing in this concept book from the illustrator of <i>And Tango Makes Three</i>--now available as a Classic Board Book.</b> <p/>Beginning with a beautiful close-up of a "big" ladybug, this adorable board book artfully depicts the concept of scale as it zooms out from the bug, to a flower, to a cow, all the way to an expansive spread of sky. Then author Henry Cole masterfully zooms back in from that sky, to a tree, to a house, to a window, all the way to the end where an adorable dog is taking a "little" nap. <p/>Young readers will love the lush illustrations of the animals, objects, and scenery of a farm, and they'll delight in seeing how something "big" can suddenly seem "little" with every turn of a page!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>In Cole s latest picture book, an object can be seen as big or little depending on context. The words Big bug appear on a double-page spread almost filled with a picture of a ladybug. The next spread, illustrating Little bug / Big leaf, shows a smaller picture of the same ladybug on a large leaf. Each turn of the page takes the viewer farther away. The leaf is little compared with a nearby flower, but the flower is little next to a dog, which is dwarfed by a cow. After the big object pictured is the sky, the comparison vector shifts, and everything named is smaller than its predecessor. Well matched with the concept, the mixedmedia illustrations are simple and effective. Cole makes good use of changing perspectives in the skillfully composed paintings of rural scenes. Children will enjoy picking out the objects that appear in several illustrations, as they diminish or increase in size from page to page. An attractive addition to picture-book collections.--May 1, 2014 "Booklist ""<br><br>In Cole's latest picture book, an object can be seen as big or little depending on context.
