When I am Big

Charming illustrations and text encourage young children to explore what they can do as they grow up. The adventurous child imagines "I will tie my shoes all by myself, make 3 knots with big bows"; to eat twenty pizzas in one sitting, or walk animals, eight at a time, while teaching them tricks. When I Am Big is also an unconventional counting book, as it goes all the way to twenty-five. The result is a book that nourishes a child's curiosity, confidence, and delight in the world's wonders.

Little Wares Thoughts: This is a cute counting story for your early counters, and when they've mastered this one, try out "When I Am Bigger" for higher numbers! Suggested for 4+ but this one is fun for even the younger ones with its fun illustrations.
