"I'm too small!" wails Puppy every time he sees a doorknob too high to reach, a tree too tall to climb, or a chair too heavy to carry. But with a little help from his family and friends, Puppy soon realizes that there are many things he can do...and that he's just the right size after all.? ?
I read a lot of books for super young kids, and there is something about these pictures-- actually all the pictures Cyndy Szekres draws-- that do something special. They feel like a warm bath and cup of hot chocolate, and I always feel safe and cozy when I read this book. Thank you Cyndy Szekres (even if you do spell your name funny.)
Puppy too small

This book was bought for me when I was expecting my second child. This child was autistic. This is the book that helped my son enjoy reading and looking at the pictures. Because my son can't actually read yet he knows the story by heart as well as our actions, especially the ending. I just wish Cindy Skezeres would realize the impact that she's had on my son.
Great book for kids (and adults)

I gave this book to a friend of mine's kids, and they never got tired of hearing about 'puppy to small'. I wish I had gotten a copy of my own, and hope the author/publisher will reprint some of her older titles, because they are terrific. My friend is holding on to the books for her grandkids, and buys new ones of this author as she finds them. I found them fun to read to kids, and buy several of Cyndy's books to keep on hand as gifts. The moving on recently helped a two-year old with the trauma of moving houses. The author just hits home for kids, with a little fun thrown in!
This is a good book.

Along with "Bye Bye Diapers," this book was my all-time favorite. I never got tired of reading it. Unfortunately, my nephew (the book's owner) took the book with him to Mississippi and I now have no access to this bedtime classic.
