Items related to Big or Little?
When you’re really young, it can be tough to figure out if you’re a little kid or big kid. So it is for one boy named Toby, who sometimes feels big, like when he pours his own milk, but sometimes feels little, like when he spills it. Mom and Dad make Toby feel more grown up when they let him help wash the car. But when his older brother says to go away, he feels little again. Sharing toys with his younger sister makes Toby feel big. What about wearing bunny-feet pajamas? That makes you little, right? Not when you’re too big for them. All in all, Toby decides that he wants to be a big kid, but sometimes he likes being little too. Still in demand after 25 years, Big or Little? is back with revised, shorter text nicely suited for little listeners, and playful new illustrations that are fun for all. Full of the everyday struggles and triumphs of growing up, this favorite story is sure to inspire readers of any size.

About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Kathy Stinson is the best-selling author of more than 20 books for children and young adults, including Red Is Best. She lives a little outside the big city of Toronto.
Toni Goffe's award-winning illustrations appear in dozens of children's books around the world. He lives in Hampshire, England.
PreS—Originally published 25 years ago, this title has a revised text and new illustrations. Toby, a preschooler with flyaway hair, considers the benefits and responsibilities of being big, as well as the frustrations of being small. The mishaps of spilled milk or a wet bed, for instance, are balanced by the joys of helping to wash the car and remembering to return library books. Goffe's line drawings in a pastel palette depict a traditional family of five in a messy home and give a nod to the author's Red Is Best (Annick, 2002) as Toby reads that book. Homey vignettes and errands around town show happy folks. The author and illustrator capture that uncomfortable in-between feeling. Toby rides a tricycle, is afraid of dogs, and gets lost in the grocery store. However, he can read a little, write his name, and open doors for grown-ups. Plenty of children will relate to him.—Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA
