Only a couple new titles in today, but really lovely ones.
Big Bug
Henry Cole (On Meadowview Street)
ISBN: 9781442498976
The viewpoint shifts each spread and alters the concept of big and little in relation to size and perspective.
I just got finished reading On Meadowview Street for my storytime today, and then this one appeared and made me love Cole all the more. I can't wait to pair this with a few other homey farm or rural life portraits for a storytime. Right now I'm thinking about Eugenie Fernandes' Busy Little Mouse and Ashley Wolff's Come With Me (about a boy and his puppy). But back to Cole. We start with a BIG BUG, a ladybug on a leaf, in beautiful closeup. Then we zoom back to show the big leaf, and now our bug is little. Another zoom gives us a big flower, and the leaf falls away to insignificance, then a dog makes the flower seem small, and so on until we reach the big country sky above, then scoot back down to a tree, then a barn, then a house, then a window, and back to our doggy friend again (with another teeny tiny friend barely visible on his nose).
