Great Big Things

40 pp. | Houghton | October, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-544-77477-3 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Noah Klocek. A spare poetic text ruminates on perspective. A little mouse carries a single crumb across "great big things," including canyons, mountains, and oceans. When the mouse reaches journey's end, the dramatic illustrations zoom in to emphasize the traveler's heartfelt gesture of delivering the crumb to a friend. "Great big things" become "small things" in comparison. Budding philosophers are the best audience for this subtle meditation.
Reviewer: Paula M. Cairo
