You can compare your tooth size with a Siberian Tiger or your eyeball with a giant squid or imagine how many dwarf gobys could fit in the palm of your hand.įor any kid interested in animals and the natural world, Jenkins’ art is a great, simple introduction. In Big and Little, Actual Size, and Prehistoric Actual Size, he uses creatures from the animal kingdom to illustrate concepts of relative size. Obviously some of those animals are shown more completely than others but it’s a really fun way for kids to see just how big (or how small) some of these creatures are. Many of Jenkins books deal with concepts, such as size, shape, and color. A crocodile is bigger than my dining room table. From the pygmy shrew on the first page (2 inches long) to the saltwater crocodile (23 feet long) whose head and jaw folds out over three pages, each animal is shown in its true-to-life size. The premise is simple but fascinating: every picture of an animal in the book is the actual size of that animal in real life. For information about permission to reproduce selections from this book.
