Review: If Big can... I can



If Big can... I can

If Big can run...
then I can run.
If Big can jump...
then I can jump.

A delightful celebration of friendship from the author of 'That's When I'm Happy.'


A gorgeous book of a little koala who attempts everything his big bear friend does and is not always successful. He goes and does things that he can with his little stature but realises that Big can't join him. In the end, he comes to the conclusion that it is the most fun when they do things that they can both do together.

Cute illustrations and a simple writing style combine to make this book enjoyable to read. But in this household with a little brother who shadows his big brother's every move, it takes on a special meaning. Big has now been renamed for the big kid in our household and is often top of the pile of the ones big bro will happily read to his little buddy, a sight that always makes this mama happy.

5/5
