Big Books for Little Readers

Enlarged Texts, or Big Books, allow groups of children to see and respond to the printed page and picture of a story as they would during a one-on-one lap reading with an adult. The Big Books in this bibliography were selected based on appeal to the listed age group, usefulness for group sharing, quality of construction, and success of translation from small to large format.
