Big enough to build a house, a stack it tall, let it fall house. Teri Daniels's rhythmic text takes a little boy through his day as he discovers he is big enough, calm enough, old enough, and sweet... This description may be from another edition of this product.
We also discovered this great book at the library. The catchy rhymes are so much fun that my 2-1/2 yr old even remembers bits of them & repeats them throughout the day. A book I don't mind reading to him over & over again.
Remember the simple joys of childhood
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I fell in love with this book when my three-year-old brought it home from the public library. While it seems to be geared to a slightly older age group (4-6 maybe), she loves it, too, because it describes things that happen in a small child's day that are insignificant to us, but very significant to them. From finding shoes and catching bugs to taking a bath and going to sleep at night, the child (in this case a boy) is just small/quick/calm/etc. enough to do the things he wants to do all by himself. Written in such a way that makes parents see life again from a child's point of view and reminds us to recognize those simple everyday accomplishments of our growing children. I love it.
