Big Dog . . . Little Dog

Good

This is an awesome book. It was originally published in 1973, and I remember reading it as a kid. Now that I've studied childhood development and learning theory a bit, I'm surprised at how well that this book applies many now standard teaching concepts. It really stands the test of time. Most of this book is about contrasts, big vs small, red vs green, upstairs vs downstairs, skiing vs skating. I like how it showed friendship and that the dogs were trying to accomplish things by going on vacation.The version I'm reviewing is a small board book, which has very thick pages and is only about as big as my hand. This small format works, but there are other versions that are much bigger.Pros:+Lots of contrasts+Excellent way to introduce many concepts to kids+Fun story+Great artworkCons:-Why do they need a bird to tell them how to solve their problems?-Why did they ski all day without thinking about where they would stay the night until it started getting dark?

Very nice book for 3-4 years.

Mia figlia di quasi due anni adora questo libro. She loves dogs! La storia è breve e carina e siccome i due cani alla fine vanno a letto, è perfetta come bedtime story.

二匹の対比が絵でわかりやすく描いてあります。楽しいストーリー。間違って、ボードブックを購入してしまったのが、残念。やはり、普通サイズの本の方がお勧めです。
