Small Smaller Smallest

by Corina Fletcher, Natalie Marshall (Illustrator)

Pull the tabs—what will you find?  There's something fun hiding on every page!  When kids pull the tabs, what will they see? Differences in size and quantity. A pretty flower grows from tall to taller to tallest. Snowflakes fall down, low . . . lower . . . lowest, as they hit the ground. And a caterpillar grows long . . . longer . . . longest! Every spread (and the front cover, too) has a pull-tab, so preschoolers will enjoy mastering this important new concept.

This was a great find! The pull tabs enrich the experience, perfectly move to convey the meaning, and reinforce the learning of these common comparatives- which are essential in language and math learning. We enjoy telling a little story for each section.

This is an easy to read concept book. It has nice big pictures on each page that explains and compares size in different ways. For example, a pretty flower grows tall, then taller, then tallest. Worms are long, longer, and longest. The pulltabs that are in the book add an extra touch for little ones. This is good book to teach some fundamentals of size. I would recommend this book for really young kids. Though, the book showed size in different forms, I thought it was a bit repetitive. The pictures were the most interesting things in the book after the 3rd or 4th “er” and “est.”

My nonverbal one-year old makes it very clear she likes this one read aloud six times a day.
