Start with something big--say, a huge bumble bug. Then, think of the tiny version: "a tiny little bumble bug." On we go, talking about big butterflies and little tiny butterflies, enormous red birds and dinky red birds, and so on.

This book by the famous picture book writer, Margaret Wise Brown, simply illustrated by the equally famous illustrator, Clement Hurd, was first published in 1938 and has an old-fashioned, timeless appeal. The simple idea behind BUMBLE BEES AND ELEPHANTS is a terrific starting point for an endless (and enjoyable) game of "big and little" for any child.
