Are You Small?, illustrated book genius or fun, whatever you like

I’m currently teaching a high school English class and they won’t tell you that they want order, structure and something to do. Left to their own devices most of them would be content spinning their energy and creative juices wasting time on their handheld computers that can also make phone calls. Students crave order and boundaries, but they won’t tell you that. Illustrated books have their own unwritten set of rules, mores and means that they’re presented to their key audience to maximize the book’s attention. Are You Small? is the sibling to Are You Big? and hits the same great high notes, in the same manner, albeit in a key that’s smaller in stature.

Are You Small? is an illustrated book that posits to young children how small is small and a basic lesson in relativity, or it’s all just for fun.

If fun is relative, then this book is relatively

The Little Kid with the Big Green Hand, sublime fun for pre-k and up

https://amzn.to/4ajrPuqThat book is too thick for me, I can’t possibly read it all. That book is very thick, I think that it will be a great reading challenge. The Little Kid with the Big Green Hand has a fuzzy, tactile cover that makes it stand out. It’s a coming-of-age story that parallels something that every child aged five and up can understand. The book’s cover is bright, very curious, and seems like a fun, engaging read that is effortless to engage with. Any child that that picks up The Little Kid with the Big Green Hand will think of one of the five sentences as mentioned above at some point.

The Little Kid with the Big Green Hand is a very smart, funny book for pre-k readers and older. It’s also sublime, simple, odd and unlike any book they’ve seen.

Fear not the thick green book

Bugs, a creepy, crawly, illustrated, STEM book that demands attention

https://amzn.to/3WgR1y3Size does not matter. Size does not matter. I’m talking about the size of certain books, and size does not matter. The content in books with a bigger presentation could be just as impactful if it were printed on standard paper, it doesn’t matter. Now, let us come back from fantasy land and lay witness to Bugs: A Skittery, Jittery History by Miriam Forster with illustrations by Gordy Wright. Bugs is a massively oversized statement of a book that lives somewhere between an illustrated book, a reference book, a STEM book, and a great, goodnight book. This book is impossible to ignore and presents biology to young audiences in a way that’s irresistible, curious, and motivational.

Bugs: A Skittery, Jittery History is an oversized illustrated book with gorgeous art that demands attention from ages eight through middle school.

Flying Fillies coming-of-age with a historical fiction, female, WWII twist

There’s an advertisement on the radio that so sweet and schmaltzy that your initial reaction is to quickly change the station like some Pavlovian dog. But you’re too late and four seconds into the ad you’re disarmed by its quaint music and down-home copy. By the end of the ad its name is stuck in your head and you’re pining for a pint of that stupid ice cream that you know you shouldn’t eat. It shamelessly reminds you of a different era, a time when things were different, slower, and more patient. Flying Fillies: The Sky’s the Limit is upper-elementary and middle school mglit that harkens back to that feeling. It’s mglit that dances between a coming-of-age story, the non-fiction world of WASPs, and the backdrop of early 1940s WWII paranoia and pride with ease in a way that gives those younger readers an age-appropriate view into trailblazers that you never knew about.

Flying Fillies: The Sky’s the Limit is historical fiction about a real group of women pilots in WWII who bridged the cap and broke a barrier or two.

Historical fiction that resonates if you give it a chance

Big Book of Vehicles, a tactile picture book with great illustrations

What if Eric Carle illustrated one of Richard Scarry’s books with a more narrative vibe? First off, let’s remind you that Eric Carle is the illustrator behind Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and Richard Scarry is the author and illustrator of over 300 books that show young children the myriad of things that happen or exist in their town.

There are certain things or instances that, regardless of your adult age, immediately transport you back to when you were younger.

Yeah, Highlights has always been available by subscription, but for you, it was your go-to dentist jam. Can I get a whoot, whoot if you remember that? The Highlights Big Book of Activities for Little Kids has the same go-to level of pre-k through mid-elementary school enjoyment and ownership as the magazine, except this packaging is bigger, better, and longer.
