As Big As You by Elaine Greenstein

Toddlers will love this book that talks about how little they were when they were a baby and how they are starting to grow. The teacher in me also has to mention that if you are teaching your students about similes, this would be a great book to read to them. The book uses many, many, many similes to describe how they baby is growing.
When you were born,
you were as big as a cabbage,
your knee was as round as a radish,
your ear as wee as a sweet pea.
Then you grew as long as the lettuce patch,
your foot was as stubby as a beet,
your mouth as dainty as a strawberry.
