I'm Big Enough Now!

Written by Pamela duncan Edwards

Illustrated by Rebecca Harry

Have you ever been lost or scared? Did you ever think "I can do this! I'm big!"? The little elephant in this story thinks she's big enough to do everything on her own now, but she gets into some scary trouble without her mum!

This is an endearing book - one I will cherish forever. I am in love with the illustrations, and the cute little elephant on the cover is what caught my eye at first. This book has a timeless lesson, and it is clear Pamela Duncan Edwards knew what she was doing when she wrote it. I honestly can not think of a single thing I would change. Bravo!

Small

Written and Illustrated by Jessica Meserve

Do you have older siblings? Do you sometimes feel like they get all the good stuff? Or are you the older sibling? Do you ever wonder why your younger siblings whine so much? Maybe it's because they feel small. Being small isn't always the worst thing. If you're small, it means you have every opportunity to act big!

Small is a book for the under-appreciated. It is a great lesson book, both for older and younger siblings. It tells the tale of Small, the younger sister, and Big, the older sister. Mean things are done by both Small and Big, but they are made up for in the end. I liked this book, if only for the fact that it teaches an age old lesson in a new and simple way. It is easy to follow, and the story could easily be told by the illustrations alone, though the words do add flow. The whole book is very well put together.
