Two creatures can't agree on which one is big and which is small. That is until another creature arrives to solve it once and for all.
The story is told with simple text and bold illustrations, which were done by Christopher Weyant.
I read the book to a 2 year old and she couldn't stop giggling.

This is a great book for children who are just starting to learn how to read. The text of this book is very easy to follow and understand. Two adorable creatures argue about their different sizes. They are not able to agree if one of them is big or if the other one is small. I think this is great

I gave this book 5 stars because it is genius. It is a whimsical story about furry animals big and small who debate what it means to be big and small. This would be a great read in my classroom and have students do an open ended journal response to what exactly is big and small and what does it

This was a cute cartoon style book with more detail added than a stereotypical cartoon illustration. It is about two creatures talking and one is smaller than the other and they start arguing on who is big and who is small. When the larger one is with his family he is normal and the other creature

is small, where as with that creature with its family it is normal and the other one is big. But then an even larger creature comes and the two realize they are BOTH small compared to it. This helps teach relative measurement to children. I think this would be really useful within the classroom when starting to work with the idea of things being relational or not always as they seem.

You are (not) small is a book for children. It teaches them that size is not everything. Children are always in a hurry to grow up and be taller then they are. This book encourages them to accept how they are. It shows that no matter how small you are, you have the ability to leave a big mark on

A wonderful book that captures how perspective is everything! I enjoyed this book very much and especially loved how simple yet profound the text is. You may be small to a tall person but tall to a person smaller than you and on and on. Universal truths! Children's books like this should be

You are small! No you are BIG!

a fun simply illustrated and worded book that teaches comparison
LibraryThing member Bonnie_Ferrante
This 8 x 11 picture book examines how size is relative. Big and small fuzzy creatures argue about size until a very large and several very small creatures appear. They realize that someone can be both small and big in comparison to others.
On the last page, the tiniest creature says to the largest
The cartoonish illustrations are big, bright, and simple. The illustrator portrays their expressions vividly. The story is interesting and funny.
Size is an interesting concept to discuss with a toddler, especially one who insists that she is a big girl. The concluding page opens the way for new discussions on comparisons.

Two creatures square off about their comparative sizes in this entertaining picture-book introduction to the idea of relativity and perception. As the larger one declares that the other is small, and the smaller one that it is the larger one who is big, their companions all join in the dispute. The
This debut from author Anna Kang and illustrator Christopher Weyant is absolutely adorable, highlighting the role that comparison often plays in our perceptions, and the necessity of flexibility, in arriving at our own and/or accepting others' judgments. The artwork, done in ink and watercolor by cartoonist Weyant, whose work has often appeared in The New Yorker magazine, is immensely cute, adding to the sense of fun.

Won a Seuss award, but much too simplistic to compare with Seuss (or PD Eastman or others of that ilk.) Not a bad book, and the sudden shift of events in the middle is nice, but doesn't have much depth. Creatures learn that big and small are relative.

A good read aloud book for the younger set. Introduces concepts in a clear way and demonstrates the way that differences are perceived. Also good as an introduction to comparative language. A thing can be big or small depending on what we decide to compare it to. It also opens up the possibility of

This book is a good fantasy because it uses magic, since in reality, bears cannot talk. It also is a good fantasy because it causes us to think about our world through its story in a fantasy world. It causes students to ask, how do I decide what is big or small, because there

So cute! Fun display of opposites as well as how we can get along despite our differences and how we all have something in common in the end.
