I eagerly tracked this book down, because it reminded me so much of the few gigantic books we had in our primary school library. The pages are 2 feet tall, it's really sturdy and crammed with wonderful little illustrations. I loved Richard Scarry books as a child (I'm sure there'll be more of his in the list by the time I'm done). When Amelie was quite little she would crawl over the pages, and at 2 years old, we play 'eye spy' with it. Every now and again I tuck it away for a while, and it's a huge hit when I bring it out again. If friends with kids visit I like to bring it out, and the expressions on their faces when they see the size of it is priceless!
