Bookroo's summary

Journey through a world where size is an illusion. Start with a ladybug, zoom out to the vast sky, then return to a cozy scene with a napping dog. Each page reveals how perspectives shift, making the big seem small and the small seem big. Young readers will be enchanted by vibrant farm scenes and the playful exploration of scale. What will seem big or little next?

From the publisher

Size is relative, but everything is worth seeing in this concept book from the illustrator of And Tango Makes Three—now available as a Classic Board Book. Beginning with a beautiful close-up of a “big” ladybug, this adorable board book artfully depicts the concept of scale as it zooms out from the bug, to a flower, to a cow, all the way to an expansive spread of sky. Then author Henry Cole masterfully zooms back in from that sky, to a tree, to a house, to a window, all the way to the end where an adorable dog is taking a “little” nap. Young readers will love the lush illustrations of the animals, objects, and scenery of a farm, and they’ll delight in seeing how something “big” can suddenly seem “little” with every turn of a page!
