Customer Reviews

Wonderful book, subpar condition for “very good”

We absolutely love this book. The art is gorgeous and the message is great. I bought this in “very good” condition as a gift for a newborn friend, and it had large stickers on both the front and back outside facing covers that could not be removed. The one on the front cover left an adhesive that sticks to other books. Can’t say I recommend “very good” condition for this book at $2 off the new price.

Pleasant book with one flaw

A very simple book that's quite pleasing to read aloud about how your perception of size changes depending on what you're comparing the object to. Here's a sampling: (this is from memory so it might not be exact) "Big and small, big and small, room for all, big and small. Big Sun, small earth. Big earth, small mountain. Big mountain, small tree..." And it goes down from tree, to man, to child, to kitty, to mouse, to flea. The water color illustrations are gorgeous and my son enjoys this book. Since it's so simple, he's memorized it and recites it sometimes before he goes to bed to soothe himself. The only thing that really bothers me about the book is the last sentence. "Big sky, big sky, what is bigger than the sky? The Never ending sky." UGH! Isn't that like saying "What is bigger than the moon? The Moon!" I know it's a small thing but it's enough to bump this down to four stars in my book. Otherwise the book is excellent.
