Summary from Union Square Co
Are YOU small?
A little question sends readers on a BIG
adventure to see the smallest of the small. From an average-size kid . .
. to a cookie crumb . . . to a water molecule . . . all the way down to
a single quark, readers discover that size is a matter of perspectiv
Nayu's thoughts
This was the second book from a publisher for young readers (I requested the books to be randomised) and it is so cute! the back cover has a ruler on the side to provide context for what is small. Each page (except the first) has an image of the previous page's creature/item walking away, allowing space for the next object. It states the object that is small, but how the object is equally big at the same time.
There are lots of questions for young inquisitive minds, with a comparison chart at the end to give an idea of how small all the tiny things discussed actually are. The colours are bold in their own way but not super bright, which makes a nice change from similar books. Don't get me wrong, I love bright colours, but colours can be more muted and still stand out. I'm sure readers will be able to identify other small objects, and may start measuring some if they have a tape measure to hand.
