Big Is Big (and Little, Little): A Book of Contrasts

(4) PS Illustrated by Bob Barner. Lewis's singsongy verses about opposites are, for the most part, effortless and quite clever. For example, "Slow is slow and fast is fast. / Something just went whizzing past!" is accompanied by an illustration of a speedy bee zipping past a sluggish snail. Barner's vibrant animals are a mix of pastels and cut, torn, and handmade paper, edged in black tempera.
