A whimsically illustrated counting book that nourishes a child's
curiosity, confidence, and delight in the world through numbers.
What will you do when you are big? How many scoops of ice cream will you
eat? How many puddles will you jump over? And what time will you go to
bed?
Charming illustrations accompanying the text in When I Am Big to
encourage young children to explore and quantify all the fun and
adventurous things they can do as they grow up. Through first-person
narration, readers will follow along to declare things like "I will tie
my shoes all by myself, and make 3 knots with big bows.", "I will jump
over 9 puddles, all of them at once!", or "I will build a roller
coaster that has 17 cars."
When I Am Big is a counting picture book from numbers 1 through 25.
When your reader has mastered that, look for When I Am Bigger, the
companion counting book from Maria Dek, to count even greater numbers
and reach more imaginative heights, with numbers 10 through 100.
