I love big books and so do kids! They are so engaging and for many kids they are a new novelty. Just being able to see the pictures so big and in such detail alone can be so intriguing.
We have a few big books and every time we "read" them the boys find new things in the pictures. We are big into picture reading, as well as finding "stuff" in the pictures.
I often start with the questions and then the boys will quickly turn the tables on me and each other. It is really fun to see them look so deeply into the pictures and dissect the story.
Our big books vary by subject, both fiction, non-fiction & scientific books. Which have been great this summer as we have been outside exploring nature a great deal. Many times we find ourselves outside in our "fort" reading. What fun it can be to change your reading venue. A new environment can bring up a whole new set of questions to relate to the story.
Go enjoy a good book with your kids right now!
