Overview / 简介: |
Whimsical watercolors illustrate a comical, cumulative tale of an amorous mouse who aims impossibly high -- and learns that you're never too little (or too big) to love.
Tiny Too-Little loves someone who's very, very tall, and Tiny wants a kiss. What if he stands on his tiptoes on top of a thimble? What if he stands on his tiptoes on top of a matchbox on top of a thimble? Clever cut-away pages show Tiny's precarious pile growing higher and higher, while the object of his affection stays just out of reach. When the teetering stack finally falls with a crash, will his hopes be dashed? How can a tiny mouse get the kiss he needs? |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
PreS-K. This tall, slim book about love offers some delightful design surprises. The cover features the hero, a white mouse, tiny Too-Little, standing on a cupcake that is surrounded by tiny ants. He loves someone the audience can't see, but she's "way up there." To get to his lady love, Tiny begins by standing on a thimble. That, of course, isn't enough, so on each succeeding page, Tiny climbs on yet another object; a matchbook, a watermelon, a teacup, a cabbage, a candle, and a few other items appear one by one on successively shorter pages that overlap when turned, until the mouse is finally revealed standing atop a column of objects balancing on a tiny pair of stilts. Then there's a huge crash, with Tiny landing on the ground. Finally, the lover appears--a giraffe, who bends down (thanks to smart paper engineering) and offers a kiss. As attractive as it is clever, the book features ink-and-watercolor washes with soft lines that capture the feeling of being lovelorn yet hopeful. Ilene Cooper |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
This was a Valentine's Day gift for my daughter who is 3. It has since become a permanent part of our bedtime routine. My daughter adores this book so much that we take turns reading it aloud, and she can't read yet! She memorized the words. The illustrations are darling and the sentiment is sweet. The semi- 3D construction makes the book very unique. Needless to say, it is the #1 book in our library. |
