A cry of frustration that will be familiar to every child, ‘I don’t want to be small’ here becomes a celebration of imagination, friendship and learning to be happy with who you are. Our hero is fed up being small, and designs a variety of ingenious ways to get tall quick. When none of them work, he throws his teddy up in the air in exasperation, only for the poor bear to get stuck in a tree, too high to reach.
Even the nice girl who offers to help isn’t tall enough, though perhaps together they can solve the problem. Beautifully child-centred, this is immense fun to read aloud and Laura Ellen Anderson’s illustrations are full of energy and charm.
One little kid can't stand being short, until he finds a new friend and learns that each of us has something to offer, regardless of size!
