When we think of the world, we think of things being either small or large. But what is small to you may be large to someone else! This book dives into the idea of perspective using everyday items that young children would know. As children begin to develop spatial understanding, this book can help guide them to see how different the world is depending on whose eyes you are looking through! Whether you are a tiny flea, an orangutan, or you are on an airplane, the world differs in size compared to you!

THOUGHTS: This book did a nice job of explaining how different perspectives can be depending on who/what you are and where you are! Although designed for younger students, this is a book that could be read throughout elementary school to help discuss perspective and spatial awareness.
