Product Information

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. In Abu Dhabi, Carrie runs into her former love Aidan. Carrie and Aidan dated twice. They broke up the first time because Carrie and Big had an affair. They broke up a second time because Aidan still couldn't trust her after all that time due to her affair with Big, and after Aidan proposes, marriage doesn't sit well with Carrie, so the two break off their engagement. Aidan is now married with three boys and is in Abu Dhabi on business. The two agree to meet for dinner, despite warnings from Charlotte, who feels that Carrie is "playing with fire". Aidan and Carrie kiss before Carrie breaks away and runs to her hotel. Distraught about what to do, she eventually calls Big to confess to the kiss. He becomes distant and won't return her phone calls. This story is based on Mr big who is bigger in size compared to everyone else. 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.

Mr Big tells the story of a lonely gorilla who's days are lived out in fear of ridicule, prejudice and abandonment. Until, one day, he spies an outcast piano and decides to take it home. The book has themes of tolerance and joy that any child of either end of the popularity spectrum can value. One day, he sees an old piano in a shop window; it also looks unhappy and alone, so he buys it and begins to play. The notes of Mr Big’s music drift into the crowded city night and everyone is enchanted – who is this wonderful musician? Mr Big gets invited to join a band and suddenly, in his element, the real Mr Big shines through. 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.

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. Mr Big is being developed as a puppetry performancebythe amazing Little Angel Theatre. We're hoping to have it on stagein late 2017. A great book about loneliness and how music brings people together - and looking beyond first appearances

Alter, Rebecca (January 5, 2022). "Chris Noth Reportedly Edited Out of the And Just Like That … Finale". Vulture . Retrieved January 20, 2022. 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. Vere's big book has some great illustrations that lend themselves to wide discussion and could easily be used as a class topic, particularly with PSED within the EYFS. At home the big friendly drawings are something that can genuinely be enjoyed by both adults and children. I think Ed's made a keeper.
