*You Are (Not) Small<\/em> by Anna Kang, illustrated by Christopher Weyant.\u00a0 Two Lions (Amazon), 2014. 30 pages.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reading Level:<\/strong> Easy Readers, ages 4-8\"(not)<\/a>
\nRecommended For:<\/strong> ages 0-4<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong>: Beginning readers will love this confrontation between two hairy creatures that proves size is relative.<\/p>\n

You are small<\/em>, says one bear-like critter to another.\u00a0 And from the looks of the first page spread, he’s right.\u00a0 But then the little one replies, I am not small.\u00a0 You are big<\/em>.\u00a0 Hmmm.\u00a0 Can it be that the value of small and big depends on who’s talking?\u00a0 But wait\u2014what if a whole crowd of furry creatures join the larger of the two?\u00a0 Strength in numbers, right?\u00a0 They get to call the shots\u2014unless the smaller of the two calls on more legions of his own. You Are (Not) Small<\/em> won this year’s Theodore Seuss Geisel Award, given annually by the American Library Association to excellence in books for early readers.\u00a0 With a vocabulary of about 25 words and clever illustrations by a New Yorker<\/em> cartoonist, it accomplishes three goals: engaging young minds with humor, building confidence in beginning readers, and presenting an idea to think and talk about.<\/p>\n

Cautions<\/strong>: none<\/p>\n

Overall Rating: 5 (out of 5)<\/strong><\/p>\n
