Big Bug
Henry Cole
Hardcover
(Little Simon, April 15, 2014)
Size is relative, but everything is worth seeing in this concept book from the illustrator of And Tango Makes Three.Beginning with a beautiful close-up of a ābigā ladybug, this book artfully depicts the concept of scale. The book zooms out from the bug, to a flower, to a cow, all the way to an expansive spread of sky. Then 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 ālittleā nap. In this ideal introduction to the concept of scale, young readers will love the lush illustrations of the animals, objects, and scenery of a farm, and theyāll delight in seeing how something ābigā can suddenly seem ālittleā with the turn of a page!
