Think Big, by Liz Garton Scanlon

New Books for Children January 15, 2013

Liz Garton Scanlon (author of All the World, 2010 Caldecott Honor Book) celebrates creativity and the arts in this week’s featured new arrival, Think Big.

Following an enthusiastic group of children as they prepare for a performance, Scanlon introduces young listeners to all sorts of artistic forms…everything from drawing, to singing…from photography, to crafting. Clipped, rhyming text and a bouncy rhythm make this vibrant book a fun read for the whole family!
