BIG & Little : Board Book

Rating:
Summary: Another winner from Todd Parr
Review: I bought this book while visiting my parents during Christmas. We realized that our 1-year old son did not have enough to keep him occupied (this was prior to Dec. 25). We already own "The Okay Book" (which I also highly recommend) so we're partial to Todd Parr and his style (childlike drawings on pages with vibrant, contrasting colors). "BIG & little" was an instant hit with my son, who was carrying it around with him before we even left the store. It's a great mix of contrast and repetition, with each set of pages showing two similar items (vehicles, foods, animals), one drawn on a large scale (banana) and the other on a small scale (peas). Our son has been flipping through the book frequently ever since we got home. The thick board pages are durable and it's small enough for him to hold easily in his car seat as well. While he isn't exactly "reading" it, the concept of big and little is being reinforced nonetheless. Many of Todd Parr's books are good. "BIG & little" is no exception. Buy it - you and your child won't be disappointed.

Summary: An ideal first book
Review: This was one of the first books we showed my daughter, and it quickly became her favorite. From about 5 months to 8 months, she smiled happily every time we showed her the simple contrasting images in Todd Parr's little book. I highly recommend it for new babies.

Summary: Great first book
Review: We started reading this book to our son at about 3-4 months. He loved the simple words and drawings, but I think the colors really got him. He started turning the pages after a short time. It's a nice small board book; the perfect size for little hands. He's 10 months now and still loves it even though it's well chewed. This book really got his attention at an early age and he loves all sorts of other books now. This book is now one of my standard baby gifts.
