Mr Big

Product Information

The moral of the story is “a true friend can come in any shape or size”. This was a great story that I enjoyed reading it and felt the feelings how Mr big encountered through the illustrations and pictures. This story enables children to learn about feelings such as sad and happy and the importance of friendship. This story can be linked to cross-curricular subjects such as PSHE learning about friendships, feelings and music such as creating music with feelings and emotions such as what Mr Big did. This has a lovely message about friendship, and joining in, and can speak to children in the younger years about making friends and ensuring that other children don't feel left out. It would be a nice book for circle time. Big and Carrie eventually become close friends. He relocates to Napa Valley, and they are able to discuss their other ongoing relationships with each other. But their sexual chemistry always remains just below the surface, and their friendship never remains strictly platonic. After reading Carrie's book, Big begins to understand how much he has hurt her, and he empathizes further when a famous actress he is dating treats him in a fashion similar to the way Big has treated Carrie: at arm's length, eschewing true intimacy. The relationship between Big and the celebrity is certainly a parallel between Carrie/Big, except that the celebrity refuses physical intimacy one-sidedly, ignoring Big's overtures except when it suits her, whereas Carrie/Big's problems were almost completely emotional and arguably two-sided. The experience ends up allowing Big to finally get past his inner pain. Big grows as an emotional being, changing and evolving as the series progresses, moving past innate pain to suit Carrie's needs better, ostensibly becoming a "better man."

This book is fantastic as it really teaches young children not to judge someone by their looks. I really loved reading this book as it is a great story about a huge gorilla that is made to feel really small on the inside. This is a wonderful book with many little hidden messages that teaches children some great lessons! It teaches readers to not judge a person by their looks, and that others have feelings. But it does end very well for Mr Big when they see him for who he really is, and also how talented he is.

Ed Vere did a fantastic job with the words as he made the text size larger or smaller for words he really wanted to emphasise. The illustrations are wonderful and bold which really make the story follow through.

Even though he is big everywhere he goes everyone runs away from him as they see someone big and scary, therefore Mr big inside felt very small and lonely from inside. One day Mr big was walking past a shop and noticed a piano in the window, he felt it looked all alone just like him so he decided to buy it and take it home. Mr Big began to play the piano thinking of all the things that made him sad, he played and played. Everyone in the neighbourhood could hear the beautiful music and wondered where it was coming from; people came from all over town every night to listen to the beautiful music. However Mr big was still alone and sad, until one morning when he received his first ever letter to the pianist. The letter read thank you for your beautiful music, everyone has been listening to your music and who are you? Leading to an invitation to come and join their band at the blue note. The story went on as Mr big joined the band and everyone had a great time and at last everyone could see the real Mr big ending with Mr big having loads of fans and having no time to be alone which is just the way he likes it. Summary: Poor Mr. Big is just that, big, in size and heart. But his appearance makes people afraid of him. My big must find a way to get people to stay.

The story is about what appears to be a monkey (though it is not made explicit) named Mr. Big, who due to his size, is assumed by others to be scary. This results in Mr. Big feeling lonely and isolated which ultimately leads him to take up piano playing which he is very talented at. Upon hearing the music across the city, everyone begins to wander who can possibly be playing such beautiful music. Once it is revealed to the others that it is in fact the 'scary' Mr.Big, their perceptions of him change and the story ends with Mr. Big not at all lonely, but instead happy and surrounded with friends. Mr. Big is the story of a lonely gorilla who is judged by his appearance. He does not have any friends because his size intimidates the other characters in the story. Mr. Big is avoided wherever he goes. He buys a piano and expresses his loneliness through his music. Happily, his music draws people from all over town who want to know who is playing such beautiful music. At the conclusion of the story Mr. Big has become a popular musician and is no longer lonely.

This book was initially unknown to me, but is a favorite of my very fussy four year old nephew, so I decided to give it a go. The book itself is aimed at early years readers and this is reflected in the simplistic and minimal text, however the book is engaging and in my view appealing due to the large, vivid illustrations and comical but meaningful plot. Mr Big looks different from everyone else, he is so big and scary looking that everyone avoids him. He sees a piano in a shop, looking as alone as he feels, and begins to play music. As Mr Big plays the piano, the notes flow into the busy city and everyone starts to wonder who this amazing musician is that they would all like to meet. Mr Big is invited to join a band and his life is transformed.Mr. Big first appeared as a recurring character and love interest of Carrie in Candace Bushnell's column "Sex and the City" in The New York Observer. [1] Bushnell based Mr. Big on Ron Galotti, the former publisher of GQ and Talk, whom she had dated. [2] Bushnell told New York Magazine in 2004, "He was one of those New York guys with a big personality—you just notice him as soon as he walks in the room," and "I called him Mr. Big because he was like a big man on campus."

Finely-graded stories use a highly supportive see-saw structure that gradually gives the reader more and more control, building confidence and ensuring progress. Storyworlds offers a wide choice of stories that appeal to all children at key stage 1. I like the way that the guided/independent reading books are split into 4 'worlds' and that there are characters that appear throughout the stories, as my pupils feel like they 'grow up' with the characters and really look forward to reading about what might happen to them next. I also particularly like the stories for the early stages of Storyworlds, because they're not just word books, and the children feel like they're reading real books.” With its gruff hero, vibrant, strong colours, bold design and spare text, this story about looking beyond appearances has a satisfying punchy simplicity and jazzy feel. The benefits of music: inclusivity, making friends, improving self-esteem, a way of expressing emotions, the joy music can bring.
