Are You Big? unfolds in typical Mo Willems’ style. His trademark wry sense of humour plays perfectly through his simple, but expressive, illustrations and basic text. It truly gives little ones a sense of how they fit into the grand scheme of things. An excellent fact sheet with actual size comparisons is included at the end of the book. * Cracking the Cover * Vast charm in a (relatively) small package yields big laughs. * Kirkus Reviews * With aplomb, Willems plays with textures, colours, and layering in a style that resembles cut paper ... the steady one-upmanship of the large bodies allows for the rare combination of scientific backing, read-aloud humor, and a concrete message about where one stands in the grand scheme of things. * Kirkus Reviews *
