Start with something that is great big. A bumble bug?

Then add more animals -- two great big chickens? -- for a sing songy read-aloud perfect for the youngest reader. The best part of this colorful book of opposites is that it never ends!

Do you know something that is great big? Do you know something that is tiny little?

PreS–This 1938 collaboration will please todays children. Opposite pairs are presented in rhythmic text, with font sizes that grow larger and smaller: Once upon a time/there was a great big bumble bug/and a tiny little bumble bug/And there was a great big butterfly/and a little tiny butterfly. Delightful scenes include chickens, birds, turtles, and elephants. The red, blue, green, white, and black pictures are striking in their simplicity. The final pages invite listeners to continue the story with their own big and little suggestions. A perfect choice for storytimes.–Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada

About the Author

Margaret Wise Brown transformed the landscape of children's literature with such beloved classics as Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny. Other perennial favorites are Big Red Barn, Christmas in the Barn, and The Noisy Book. Her "here and now" style has been an enormous influence on writers for the past half century.

Muy pocos escritores de literatura infantil han logrado captar las emociones e inquietudes de la niÑez como Margaret Wise Brown (1910-1952). Sus numerosos y ya clÁsicos libros y grabaciones continÚan deleitando a lectores y oyentes de todas las edades.
