Mr Big

Product Information

These books are perefect to cuddle up and read with little ones, and for more confident kids to read themselves. I love the simplicity of this book - its illustrations are bold and eye catching, the text is easy to read. You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods. I guess books like this always make me feel like, what if you are just someone who's body takes a form that is not culturally "acceptable" but you are NOT also very talented.

Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first. All children may feel left out at times and this would be a great book to begin a circle time with to talk about how it makes children feel and how they can be a good friend to children who are for example, in the playground playing alone. As Mr Big plays the piano, the notes flow into the busy city and everyone starts to wonder who this amazing musician is that they would all like to meet. Ed has worked with CLPE to co-create the Power of Pictures scheme which encourages visual literacy in primary school education and has received major funding from the Arts Council. Your selection was perfect for our children and what really made the difference was your ability to engage with each child, discuss their interests and help them to choose a suitable book based on your extensive knowledge of the books you were selling.

After all those achingly sad images of Mr Big, it’s an absolute pleasure to see him looking so happy, enjoying the company – and the big time. Your words, like your reviews, bring books to life and give them a voice before the front cover is even turned.

It could be great to use in PSHE related classes to discuss how we should not judge each other on appearances and teach that being big or different is not scary or negative. Allows the reader to understand that regardless of what people look like, you need to get to know them to really understand them.This is such a great book to discuss themes of fitting in, being different, and everybody having their own talents which make them unique and special. I'm about to purchase his others, my last books are Rod Campbell which are fab, this is a good next book for my child and me. It’s a fantastic independent book seller that will actually be responsive and select appropriate books for you. He is also a painter, working from his studio in east London, and is represented by galleries in London and Los Angeles.

This is the third picture book from an exciting new talent, whose previous titles The Getaway and Banana have received great critical acclaim. With his trademark bold colour and masterful graphic simplicity, Vere sensitively and humorously tackles the universal and current subject of inclusion,’ reads the publisher’s blurb, ‘reminding the reader that to get to know someone, you need to look beyond their exterior. Why not try some of our favourite books for 4-year-olds - slightly longer stories they'll love chatting to you about.Big is a huge gorilla, who everyone runs away from as they see him as 'big and scary' because of his size. Things changed for Mr Big in the end and he was not as lonely as he used to be as he had something to share with the world.

This has a lovely message about friendship, and joining in, and can speak to children in the younger years about making friends and ensuring that other children don't feel left out. The book has themes of tolerance and joy that any child of either end of the popularity spectrum can value. With bright, wide eyes and immaculately dressed in a sharp suit, bow tie and fedora hat, he towers over the other animals. This was a great story that I enjoyed reading it and felt the feelings how Mr big encountered through the illustrations and pictures.

Might be getting a bit too in my head, but I was annoyed because I purchased this book since it wasn't available in the library and ended up being like. But it does end very well for Mr Big when they see him for who he really is, and also how talented he is. With his trademark bold colour and masterful graphic simplicity, Ed Vere sensitively and humorously tackles the universal and current subject of inclusion, reminding the reader that to get to know someone you need to look beyond their exterior. Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. Vere’s wide-eyed supporting cast of wide-eyed (notably smaller) characters look fantastic – and suitably anxious.
