Reviews

[David Schwenker · Rating 3 out of 5]

The illustrations by Aliki are some of her best - sparse and geometric with backgrounds awash in a single color, similar in vein to Saul Bass. The text of the book explores the relativity of how we describe sizes - "This dog has big feet, and this man has small feet. But the man's feet are bigger than the dog's feet." Simple but has a slightly unique take on an oft-discussed topic with beautiful art.
