"The book takes children on a journey of discovery through the eyes of three young friends "
"I recently read your educational book ‘How Big is Big?’ Size can be a difficult concept for young children to grasp and for adults to explain in simple, accurate terms. The elephants work well for young children as they are very visual and concrete. Great book, fun, uncluttered illustrations and clear use of language."

"Thanks once again for coming in last week to read for us. Your book has truly inspired the Kookaburras and we are now looking at how planes disappear into the distance and become smaller so are busy making our own paper planes."

"The kindie classes just loved the book. The simple manner in which Neil brings across the concept of size by using elephants makes it so much easier for kids to get a hold of. The pictures just grabbed the kids' attention and inspired them in their own works of art."
