To paraphrase Roy & HG, too much Mo is never enough!! Here’s another one of Mo Willems’ deceptively simple, but loaded with learning books. You can see by the spreads above just how understated it is but conversely, also the immensity of it all.

By taking Smalls on a journey of discovery of real life science as they explore their own relationship to the world and beyond, Mo once again demonstrates his amazing creativity and ability to combine different aspects into a whole. In a non-fiction that almost defies description Mo shows kiddos the relationships/comparatives in size and scale of themselves, the regular sized child, to many bigly things both on earth and in the universe.

Like so much in life, it’s all about perspective! There is also a companion book Are You Small? on its way soonish, so you will have a pretty matchy-matchy pair. It’s Mo, so as far as I’m concerned that’s all that needs to be said. It gets a 5 📏📏📏📏📏 rating from me, before I’ve even read it – but really, get it into your shelves or into a stocking for your Smalls.
