I love this book; the illustrations and use of rhyme make it a wonderful bedtime story. Effectively gets across the message that size isn't important, which is always useful with little children who always ' want to be bigger'.

Easily my favorite children's book written this decade. I first encountered this whimsical tale of kite flying at a library story time. Afterward I immediately went to find a copy for my home.

My girls love this book. Not only does the kid learn that he can do great things at any size, but he also saves the firemen!
