Big Little (Leslie Patricelli board books)

I bought 3 of these books (quiet loud, big little, yummy yucky) because my friend recommended them and my 5 month old daughter loves them. She gets very quiet and still, stares at the pictures of the little baby on each page and likes to touch the page and try to help us turn the page.

I also found this book at TJ Maxx for $3. Before my son was born I went on a hormone induced shopping spree for all the books I had as a kid and anything that looked fun. I really loved the simple but bright artwork, little did I know what a big hit this would be. starting at 6 mos my son was able to recognize this book progressing now at 11 mos to grab the book climb in my lap and have me read the book over and over again. sometimes he will just sit on the floor and flip the book and kiss the baby on the heads are big page. I am buying another copy for a friend and hope she gets the same joy from the book as our family does.

This book and the rest of Leslie Patricelli's books are SO great for even the littlest "readers". My 6 month old son loves to look at the picture because they are so bold and colourful. My nephew loves the simple story. Makes a fast, easy read for beginer readers too. I will buy ALL her books!

I found this book at TJ Maxx for $3, and what a bargain! The pictures attract you, since they are simple graphics, not all busy on the page like some other books we've looked at. Also, the words are so simple and fun, ie "Trees are big. Dandelions are little." It's perfect for my little baby girl. I recommend it to all looking for young children's books.

This is a very clever book, with comparisons such as "Ladies are big, lady bugs are little". The illustrations are beautifully hand-painted, and kids like that they are simple, colorful and cute. This makes a great set with the author's other books (Yummy Yucky, Quite Loud), and I hope that they're offered together in a boxed set soon.
