Summary
This eye-popping circle story builds understanding of sequencing and size relationships. There was a big big frog! And a little little mosquito ... So begins a buoyant visual tale in which one animal after another is bested by a larger one--until the smallest of all proves that strength comes in many forms. Inspired by a dynamic cast of characters featuring mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects, kids will chant along with the refrain and delight in the circle of life. MacDonald and Fierst capture the spirited rhythms of playground boasts in infectiously simple text. Kitty Harvill's bold, primary acrylic and cut-paper illustrations reflect the dynamics of the story chain with humor and a surprise ending
