About this title

Review:

The Very Small is lost, and when Giant Baby Bear finds him wandering in the woods he decides to take him home to Giant Mummy Bear and Giant Daddy Bear. But as much as The Very Small is grateful that Giant Baby Bear is happy to share his parents with him, nothing can rid him of the feeling that he doesn't quite fit in, and he really really wants to go home...

The Very Small is pure delight from beginning to end, with a charming, gently funny story and cute illustrations, which together explore the idea of sharing and noticing that not everyone in the world is exactly the same.--Susan Harrison
