Too Big!

by Claire Masurel

Book Overview

When Charlie wins at the carnival, he chooses the biggest prize of all-a big, blue and white dinosaur. But soon Charlie finds that Big Tex is too big to go to the park, and he must take Bunny instead. Big Tex is also too big to go to the store, so Charlie takes Teddy.

Cute illustration and heart warming story

My son loves the author's Good Night and Christmas is Coming, so I searched a book by Claire Masurel and found this book. Although the illustrator is different on this book, the cover was intriging so I decided to purchase, and my instinct was right! This is such a delight book and my son (2yr 4m) asked for this book every night. He loves the part that Charlie and Tex go to a doctor. He says "take your medicine!" so I can use the phrase next time he has to take cold medicine too :)

Magical illustration, cute story!

My 4 and 2 year olds fell in love with this book the minute they saw the cover. Each page has something special that MUST be pointed out EACH TIME I read it to them. The illustration in this book is just so warm and has that quality of "the good old times". Each page is a piece of art by itself! I feel like framing and hanging them in the kids' rooms! Just wonderful heart-warming illustrations, and oh yeah, a very cute story. I hope that this illustrator will be doing more children's books in the future! I recommend it to anybody, not just kids.

Too Enchanting!

This is a fun story that children 1 1/2 years and up couldenjoy, but it is the illustrations that really steal the show. Theyare the best I've seen so far in a children's book, and we have quite a few. The colors are wonderful and the style of drawing reminds me of Curious George goes to art school. Treat yourself and your child!

Beautiful!

The lovely, stylish illustrations in the simple story fascinate my two year old daughter. She squeals with delight at the mayhem this large toy creates and she loves searching for the events mentioned in the text. The repetition of "too big!" is also a definite story time pleaser!
