A Pig is Big

by Douglas Florian

This fun picture book uses cleaver rhyming words to explain the cows are bigger than pigs, cars are bigger still, and the universe is the biggest of all. The story opens in a cleaver and unique way by the first picture posing the question "What's big?" This page is almost completely bank which leaves the child wondering and questioning what is to come. The reader will enjoy the descriptive words that are put together in an interesting way to rhyme on each page. The illustrations are done in watercolor paints that are whimsical, colorful, and fun. This story is sure to teach children about ordering and sizing of things that the young reader would probably already be familiar with. While the intended message is fully important and real, but reality is stretched in an enjoyable way through illustrating cows and pigs driving a car and a kangaroo surfing.

Intended Age 3+
