Small Medium Large by Emily Jenkins

The colorful illustrations in this book help demonstrate the point of the story.  It's cute!


Star Bright Books and Net Galley gave me a copy of this in ebook form for review.  It will be published in hardcover and softcover in the middle of August.


This picture book teaches sizes.  It also teaches some fun words for the bigger sizes.  The author shows how many small, medium and large beings it takes to equal the size of the bigger ones, almost like filling a glass to the brim.  Children will learn perspective and depth by watching how many of what size make the comparison complete.


I really liked how it was presented and how it teaches without being obvious about it.  The illustrations are colorful and it's fun to read.  You could even make up your own shapes and let them practice with the various sizes to see if they can duplicate what was shown in the book.  Have some fun with your children!


Happy reading.
