Review Detail

MERLIN, ARE YOU SMALL OR BIG? is a cute board book about size and comparisons. The book begins with Merlin the bird, asking him whether he is big or small. The book then shows Merlin with some other items and labels them big or small as appropriate. For instance, next to an elephant, Merlin is small and the elephant is big, but next to a worm, Merlin is big and the worm is small.

What I loved: This is a really cute way to teach simple concepts around size and comparisons. This is perfect for older infants and young toddlers to begin making sense of the world around them. With only the 2 comparator words on each page, this helps with understanding and word recognition, and keeps the pages turning quickly. This is great for the youngest readers who will enjoy looking at the pictures and learning the words big/small through repetition - the best way for little brains to learn!

Final verdict: MERLIN, ARE YOU SMALL OR BIG? is a cute, simple board book that teaches about size and comparisons through repetition and example. This is perfect for infants and young toddlers.
