Is bigger better?
Shows different sizes and why being small is sometimes more beneficial than being big.

Great book to introduce proportion sizes as well as understanding measurements.

This is a great book for first graders. It has a genuine plot with dynamic characters, even. Recommended for youngsters.

This is a story about being too little and family (in this case, cousins) rivalries. It's okay, but not a great story. It's a decent book for beginning readers to practice their reading.

A delightful early reader book for the winter. I was surprised that it is rated a level 1 for pre k and k readers. To me it was more for later first graders.

This book is perfect for emerging readers -- early First Grade. It is easy to read, and it is pretty funny.
