Me Tall, You Small

by Lilli L'Arronge (Illustrator)

Hardcover, 2017

Description

"Me Tall, You Small is a silly romp through a parent and child's daily lives, exploring the differences between being an adult and a child when doing various activities, from kicking the soccer ball around to cooking together to snuggling in bed after a long day. It's a dynamic readaloud with whimsical use of language (for instance, when playing in the mud: Me romp / You STOMP; when snuggling in bed: Me cuddle / You cuddlier). Some rhyming, some onomatopoeia, some wordplay, and a ton of fun for parents and kids."--Provided by publisher.

A must for every family library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.
