Summary: This book gives children an understanding of what the term “size” means and how different objects vary in size. This is a great learning tool to use with the younger children to give them a basis to the understanding of big and little.
Extension Activity: Since this book deals mainly with understanding size, I would just continue with this and have different objects of various sized in the room, and have the class work together to line them up from the smallest thing to the largest object.
