Bye Bye Big!

Margaret Read Macdonald, Gerald Fierst Kitty Harvill (Illustrator) Plum Street Publishers (NOVEMBER) Hardcover $16.99 (32pp), 978-1-945268-03-8

It all begins with a great big frog and a tiny wee mosquito, but Bye Bye Big!, from Margaret Read Macdonald and Gerald Fierst, soon explodes in colors, sights, and sounds as a few simple words form an increasingly sizable circular story. With a rhythmic refrain perfect for sharing or chanting aloud, illustrator Kitty Harvill’s mixedmedia collages practically jump off the pages as snakes, tigers, and more discover the surprising truth about being big.
