I like that the words "Grande y Pequeño" are not written on text pages; the concept must be remembered throughout. And, as an intermediate level Spanish language learner, I am impressed that 50% of the words were new to me.

At first, I wasn’t sure how I felt about the changing scale from page to page, but now I think it actually makes a lot of sense. Definitely can see the illustrator style on the tree page. Rose loves the “buis “!

An ok board book depicting the concept of something big and something small. For example an apple is depicted on a left facing page and an apple seed on the right hand page.

A simple baby and up book where one type of item is shown in its small and big form like a seed and then what it turns into.
