A fun children’s book filled with vibrant and adorable illustrations.
The opening image of Do You See the Giant? is an ant that fills the pages, along with the caption, “Do you see the giant?” While the ant appears large, the following pages show that a bee is huge in comparison to the ant. As the story unfolds, the insects transition into amphibians, birds and animals, and the giants just keep getting larger and larger until they culminate in the behemoths of the Jurassic period, the dinosaurs.
A picture book intended for small children, Do You See the Giant? features simple but eye-catching, vivid images throughout. The text, which is short and repetitive, can be read to small children to help them learn the names of some insects and animals. Children that are just learning to read will also be able to use the simple words to practice pronunciation and reading. As the brightly colored illustrations and elementary words combine, even young ones that are easily distracted will be eager to follow along. Babies and toddlers can learn both the names and relative sizes of animals, and if they’re paying attention they’ll also notice visual references to a primary food source of each of the insects and animals featured.
Do You See the Giant? is a fun children’s book filled with vibrant and adorable illustrations. Perfect for the youngest of children, Lakshmanan’s endearing picture book is both educational and entertaining.
