Big Size Surprise

Description

Is that a little boat, or a huge ship? Is that a small house, or a small house being hoisted by a giant crane? Each spread of this cleverly designed board book reveals a surprising size opposite that makes for a novel way for toddlers to learn about words and concepts. Here's a lift-the-flap board book that's bigger-and smaller-than the average concept book.

Agnese Baruzzi has illustrated dozens of children's books, including Look, Look Again and Opposite Surprise.

"A fold-out board book that can be used on different levels with mixed age groups. Some of the concepts are simple, like small or big which shows a small car and a large truck. Others are more complicated like thin and wide showing a pencil and a bridge, and one rather puzzling hot and cold showing the sun and two plugs. School age children could even make their own fold-out pages of opposites." --Saroj Ghoting, earlylit.net A page-turner for the toddler set. --Kirkus Reviews "Plays with perceptions, assumptions, and predictions. Awfully pertinent stuff in 2016, wouldn't you say? You can never teach it too early." --Elizabeth Bird, blogs.slj.com
