PRODUCT INFORMATION: Class Conscious BIG BOOKS, whimsically illustrated by Sylvia Ion, are available in color as well as black and white. Music is provided with some titles where available.
These over-sized 11in. by 17in. BIG BOOKS are printed on card stock and perfect for group reading sessions for grades K-2. The books incorporate familiar rhymes, rhythms, and repetition and can compliment any reading or language program. The Big Books are bound with plastic combs which allow them to lie flat. Pages can be laminated by removing the comb, re-punch holes through the laminating plastic with a sharp object, and reassemble.
Unlimited child-size books can be made from copies of the Black Line Master included with each title. Except for CLEARANCE copies, the new Mother Goose trilogy has ten additional 8 1/2in. by 11in. Black Line Masters corresponding to each story. Blank books can be made that allow students to write their own text by covering the text before copying. Children are delighted with their own, personal little pocket books that they can color and read over and over again. And NOW ALL of the child size black line masters and some of the black and white Big Books can be delivered digitally to your e-mail address.
These original Big Books were once available at education seminars and through other teaching aid programs at a higher price but now they may only be legally purchased here. Enjoy.

FAQ

Q: Are these Nellie Edge Books?

A: In 1988, Sylvia Ion designed many of the original Big Books for Nellie Edge. Because of contract problems, Sylvia Ion disassociated, taking the copyright to her beautiful illustrations with her. Nellie Edge hired another artist to try to replicate the books but does not come close to the spirit of the originals. Class Conscious is proud to offer the original, superior versions of these big books at a less expensive cost to teachers. In addition, we offer them in COLOR as well as black and white.
