I learned it that way, along with the = sign showing the sides are equal. But by the time I was teaching, we used Pac-Man, drawing the rest of him around the hungry mouth. I still added "another way to look at it is," and described the spaces:

Big>little same=same little<Big

Because it doesn't matter how your mind makes the connection, as long as it works for you.

Edit to add:Pac-people are easier to draw than crocodiles
