This book is teaching children the size of different things by comparing it to other things. The book uses the elephant as one of the biggest animals and a mouse as one of the smallest.

I liked this book, I think it would be good for very young children because of the illustrations in it.

I would have the children in my class draw two types of animals and compare them and try to find all their differences.
This book illustrates the differences in size between certain things. For example, the book dipicts a horse and says that a horse is smaller than an elephant but bigger than a boy.

This book is good because the children can get an idea of what sizes certain objects are if they have not seen them in real life.

The children can make pictures of things that are bigger than themselves on one side of the paper and then on the other side draw things that are smaller than themselves.
