3 – 3.5 stars
Think Big has the heart of a traditional children’s story, and when you lean into that softer, timeless tone, the book settles into something warm and reassuring. The savanna feels like a place where nature teaches its own lessons—storms come, fires spark, and the animals must find courage in themselves and in one another. Giraffe, Kudu, and Honey Bee move through the danger with a quiet determination that echoes the feel of older picture books, where bravery is shown in small steps rather than declared outright.
The message of believing in yourself is still present, but it lands more gently when the story focuses on how the animals respond to fear and uncertainty. Their teamwork feels natural, not forced, and the moments of gratitude and hope come through in the way they look after one another. The illustrations carry much of the emotional weight, giving young readers space to feel the story rather than being told what to feel.
As a whole, it’s a sweet, encouraging book that works best when read slowly — letting the rhythm of the savanna, the warmth of friendship, and the quiet bravery of its characters shine through. It’s easy to see why it resonates with families, especially those who enjoy stories that offer comfort and gentle inspiration.

‘Contained within these books is the wondrous fact that star dust lives above us, around us, and within us all. Watch the animals discover a third secret that lights the stars within their hearts. Try their secret, become the hero of your own story, and celebrate your best life together too, no matter the hardship.’
‘A mythology fable about animals who discover how to live their best lives.’
Think Big is the third book in the Live Big series by Kat Kronenberg. It is a cute children’s storybook that aims to inspire children to be extraordinary, to be grateful, to be generous/giving, to be the best version of themselves, to smile, to follow their dreams, to believe in themselves, the benefits of working together/cooperation, and to be the hero of their own story.
We follow Baboon, Giraffe, Elephant, Bee, Dung Beetle, Baobab Tree, Kudu, and Bush Baby as they believe in themselves, embrace possibilities, and make big things happen. This zany little adventure comes with games and activities to do (at the end of the book).
The series consists of:
-Dream Big (Book #1)
-Love Big (Book #2)
-Think Big (Book #3)
-Live Big (Book #4)
