I loved all the new animals in this latest installment of Kat Kronenberg's children's books. As with the first two, beautiful illustrations and great feel-good messages/themes for kids make for a delightful story time.

Think Big continues the story of animals in the savanna and the life lessons they learn. The illustrations are beautiful, bright and fun. As always, there is an important self-esteem lesson woven into the story. An adult will be needed to explain the concept to help children, especially the younger ones, understand it. I especially like the extension activities and notes at the end of each book.

While I respect the overarching theme of the story and it’s intent, I wasn’t crazy about this book. It barely held my attention as a grown woman. And my son had an even harder time with it.

Think Big is a unique read full of whimsy and animals!

The copy I received had barely any pictures, which kind of shocked me since it was marketed to me as a picture book. I'm wondering if my device didn't download it correctly since other reviews have talked about how beautiful the pictures were! The cover is gorgeous, so I expected that within the book as well. Nonetheless, the story is very unique! The main theme appears to be believe in yourself and think big, then you can do anything!

The prose is also different, but that can be a good thing. It stands out among other books I've read lately. I was curious why the prose was presented the way it was, but it doesn't affect the story too much. It's just a more imaginative style of writing.

Overall, this story was nice and something different.

Two out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Greenleaf Book Group Press for providing me with a digital copy of this book to review.

Bright artwork catches readers attention, and the story premise is a good lesson in being your best self. The story is quite repetitive, and is better for an older audience.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This is the second book by Kat Kronenberg that I have recently read, and I loved it just as much as the first one I read - Dream Big.

This book is so beautifully illustrated and is told as a fable about having faith in yourself and believing in yourself.
The book teaches information in small print at the bottom of pages, about the animals in the story.
These books teach children valuable life lessons and skills and are a fantastic addition to any library.

Set in the African savanna, this book demonstrates the power of positive thinking and helping others. The illustrations are beautifully done. There are even hidden messages for children to find. The animals inspire each other and they all benefit by working together.

Think Big has such a positive message and illustrates a wonderful picture in your head. I read this to my 8 year old and while I fully understood the message, I believe that my daughter did not until I explained it to her in more depth. It is a good short story and we really enjoyed the characters, especially Giraffe! Thank you NetGalley for my ARC!

Think Big is a beautiful story with a really wonderful message. We adapt to overcome obstacles and to help others. The vibrant illustrations were very eye-catching, and I like the additional information in the back of the book as well - to really get some in=depth information about the lessons being taught. It's too long to hold the attention of younger kids, and the fire and fear is pretty intense for them as well. I'd suggest a grade-school age to really enjoy and get the most out of this fun book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Greenleaf Book Group for the advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Good colorful illustrations.But not my kind book.Very preachy and unrealistic.I think the children of this generation can do better with truth then make believe stories.

I didn’t mind the concept with you can change your situation with how you approach it. What I really liked was all activities and information in the back. Lots of good ideas for extended learning.

This book a beautiful illustrations and a really positive message for young kids about reaching inside and being able to achieve the impossible. I would love to hear this book read aloud by the narrator to see how the songs should flow and the cadence of narration!

I'm not sure what to make of this book. The illustrations are beautiful but the prose doesn't make a whole lot of sense for a small child. I understand the message as an adult, to do your best and never give up however I don't know what age group that this would be aimed towards. I wouldn't be able to recommend it, the language is too vague.

thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I see that the publication is already past but Amazon won't allow me to publish a review. Is the publication date delayed perhaps?

This was a great book to read as a family, the graphics were gorgeous, we were able to learn information about specific animals in the book and taught us many things. I enjoyed the themes being friendship, kindness and helping others when you are down. A great book for young readers teaching them important life values that you need to know in day to day life. Always believe in yourself.

Asked my three year old What was your favorite part : when the giraffes neck got so big

Asked my 2 year old her favorite part: fire!

I thought the overall message of this book was great, but I do not think it was executed very well. I think it would be hard for children to follow. I did however love the illustrations.

Beautiful illustrations and overall uplifting story. The story and dialogue are a bit clunky and don't always make sense, but the overall moral is very positive, encouraging everyone to embrace their gifts and help others. This is likely aimed for Christian parents with young children. The book and questions at the end will certainly spark conversation about what each of us can do to help others.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC!

I read this book with my six year old daughter. We really liked the illustrations, but the story wasn’t for us. We liked how the book had the animals learn how to be confident and help each other out when they were in danger, but it was written kind of clunky.

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC for my honest review!

This book had beautiful illustrations that I felt got better as the book went on. I think the underlying message was awesome for kids, but the story was difficult to follow. The words on the page were very small and it might be beneficial if they were a larger font. I liked the “Notes for Two-Leggers of all Ages” in the back; these were filled with lots of lessons and tidbits to live a better life.

This is a beautiful children’s book with stunning illustrations. It has a fantastic message to be yourself and be brave and be kind. It also has hidden messages throughout the book so it acts like a Seek and Find as well as a great read. There are many different animals that run into different obstacles and they get through it anyway. It is a bit long and wordy for what it is and for the target age.

Think Big foster great discussions about what you should do when a friend needs help and how little actions can do a ton of good. It also goes into self confidence and believing in yourself. That is a lot of moral lessons, but all wonderful lessons to discuss. The illustrations are beautiful and engaging but the story itself would be too long for most young readers and the bit of "magic" was a bit over the top.
