This sweet picture book is full of charming illustrations as it tells the story of Big and Little Raccoon.
The two raccoons must learn to appreciate how the other approaches life and problems and the story ultimately shares the lesson of compromise and patience.
Firstly, I would like to thank Netgalley for providing me with an e-arc of the book. This review is based on my personal opinion and enjoyment of the book.
I received an electronic ARC from Clavis Publishing through NetGalley.
Two raccoons are friends and do everything together. However, they have very different styles so this causes issues sometimes. After getting angry and going their own ways, they realize they want to keep the friendship and figure out ways to compromise.
The text is difficult to read and follow the story. The concept is an important one but is not presented well.
Raccoons are my favorite animal and this was a great little book with really cute illustrations. This is a great book about helping out when your friends need it.
Such a sweet, sweet read. My 5 year old daughter thought the big raccoon needed to learn to be patient and enjoy the journey but I loved how the story teaches conflict resolution and compromise.
This is a children's book that I read with my twin boys. This is a cute book with a good message. I loved the pictures. I think this is a great book to read with kids that as a much big sister or brother because this book's message would help them seeing being big or little is cool. I think that children that really understand and get the main character in this book. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Clavis Publishing) or author (Yang Hang) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.
My Review: Even though my little munchkin has long since grown out of picture books, I still love reading them and checking out new releases. This book caught my eye with the adorable illustrations. Besides the cute illustrations, it also has a pretty great story and message for those littles and bigs, just because someone is bigger doesn't always mean their way is the best and maybe it is a good idea to let someone figure out their own way of doing things. It also had a great part about forgiveness and working together. All in all this is a really cute book with a great story for littles and bigs alike.
My Rating: This was a pretty cute book and I really like how the choices are made and handled. This, like so many other great picture books, has a message for the adult readers as well as the kids they might be reading to. I give it a rating of Four Paws.
Cute story about two friends who have a disagreement and must consider what to do about it. Educational themes on saying sorry and giving forgiveness. Lovely illustrations and story.
This book was really cute. My girls loved it and the illustrations were really pretty. We enjoyed the raccoons and their adventure with the snail.
I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
Big and Little is a cute picture book about a big racoon and a little racoon who are best friends but have a disagreement.
Little racoon wants to watch a snail climb over a small mountain (rock) and big racoon doesn't want to and moves the snail to the other side of it. They fall out and both storm off cross and upset at each other.
They calm down and make friends and learn a lesson from their disagreement about when they should let someone do things for themselves and when to help them.
Big and Little illustrates with lovely pictures the importance of communication, cooperation and a never give up attitude. Your little ones will love the picture book and the discussion to follow.
A cute book starring 2 raccoons going on a picnic. Along the way, they get into a fight and then make up. This is a good book for kids to read to see that we all have disagreements from time to time and we can still be friends. Nice illustrations too!
Such an adorable childrens' book!!! I enjoyed the story and the illustrations so much!!
I would like to thank the publisher and netgalley for providing me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
Thanks to Clavis Publishing and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to enjoy and review your book.
Two raccoons go for a walk and come across a snail trying to climb a mountain. Little Racoon wants to stop and watch the snail but Big Racoon wants to hurry along. The friends end up falling out and they go their separate ways. But they learn something valuable in the process.
I absolutely love the last line in this book. It speaks volumes about the message of doing things together and knowing that it is important to respect each other in friendship and by doing so, your enrich your own life.
Endearing mixed media illustrations by Lia.
Cute book with a cute concept but i think the point of the story was a little messy. A bit confusing for me myself but my 5 yo nephew enjoyed it
I assume the story is cute, I know the pictures are cute, and I would like to get a hard copy to be able to read the story as the ebook does not work.
I voluntarily received and reviewed a complimentary e/copy of this book which I received from the author/publisher. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
The story follows Big Raccoon and Little Raccoon as they go on a picnic. They get in an argument and go their separate ways to cool off. After realizing they each needed the other one they got back together to enjoy their picnic. I really liked the storyline. I love the big vs little. My son loved the story too. He really liked the snail. The illustrations were a little fuzzy at times. The faces of the raccoons were fuzzy. This is a great book to teach the big vs little concept to small children.
Big and Little is a sweet little story about friendships that span ages, be it in sibling relations, parental, or classmates. We are surrounded by people who are bigger and littler than us. It is tempting to continue to do the works that needs to be done for those smaller than us. But how will they learn to do it on their own? This story begins that conversation for young children and the message is one that we can all learn from regardless of our age.
Two raccoons, one big and one little, go on a walk together, both enjoying different paces of travel. When a disagreement causes them to part ways, they both learn to see that their differences weren't something to be annoyed with; they were something that made the journey that much better.
A lovely book showing how our differences not only make life better but help us in unexpected ways, "Big and Little" is a beautifully illustrated story that shows we don't all need to want the same thing, and that compromise can make our time with other people that much better.
Big and Little Racoon love to be together. If you haven't heard, Racoons can get in trouble. In this humorous story about friends, little and big, and how you can help a friend, you and your child will have lots to discover. The illustrations are adorable and who can't help but think Racoons are pretty cute!
A special thank you to Clavis Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.
