Customer Reviews

Perfect for a small child...

This book is very cute!!! Now, I must say it isn't much in the way of a story... it is extremely simple, so I don't recommend it for someone over say 4 years old, but for someone under four, it is just perfect... it has beautiful VIBRANT contrasting colors and teaches the differences in small to big... this is a must have for a toddler!!!

I can't get my 2-year older daughter away from it

In a world full of special effects and senseless humour on tv and movies, it's great that I discovered this book that not just holds my daughter's attention, but gets her interested that much more into reading. She has her own library practically, and no book has held her total intertest, save "Tarzan:Me and You". Her daycare teacher was reading this to her and I had to get it, she demanded it every day and night. Before eating, before bath, before bed, when she woke up...She loves it! And the artwork is just great! It teaches her about different animals a bit in a not so ordinary way. A wonderful book!

Another deeply cool Faulkner book!

THE BIG YAWN is a winning combination of a short, easy and clever story line coupled with captivating illustrations - a Keith Faulkner specialty. I used this book in preschool storytime and it received the highest honor bestowed upon children's books at this library by three and four year olds - 'big clapping'. A must-have for both personal and professional collections.
