Summary: The three sections of this book describe things that are big, small, and in-between, but they are not necessarily the first things you think about for each concept. Big: “The SUN and its SHINE when it asks you to rise, the DONUT your brother got because you picked last and only got the hole.” In-between things include “the TEETER-TOTTER not when it’s up or when it’s down but when two smiles meet in the middle,” and an example of small is “the PLIP of a raindrop and the PUDDLE where it falls for a butterfly to sip.” Chapter 4 is “Everything”, and consists of a foldout page that reads, “the bluest SKY, the bittiest BUG, and you in the middle of it all.” 98 pages; ages 4-8.
Pros: This beautifully illustrated concept book could serve as inspiration for kids to expand on what they think of as big, small, and in-between.
Cons: The 3-D foldout papers that begin each chapter will likely not last long in a library book.
A Kids Book A Day 
This sounds wonderful; I love books that invite children to ‘extend the book’ with their own examples of the concept. One off my very favorites is A SOCK IS A POCKET FOR YOUR TOES (Liz Garton Scanlon, illus. Robin Preiss Glasser).
