Three Feet Small
It's hard to be little in the middle of everything big. This little bear has legs that dangle, arms that can't quite reach, and a sister who likes to remind him that she's bigger. He is sure that he will never, ever, ever grow. But just when he begins to lose hope, he finds proof that maybe--just maybe--he is growing . . . a little at a time.
Valeri Gorbachev's charming illustrations and Michael J. Rosen's rhythmic text perfectly capture the frustration children feel when they can't do something because they're too small--and the excitement of discovering each new thing they can do!

If you have a child that is getting frustrated that (s)he is to little and will never be big enough to do anything this is the perfect book for them. The little bear in the book feels this way as everything he seems to do he's not quite big enough to do. But then there are other things that he's getting to big to soon he'll not be able to do anymore (like airplane with his uncle) Written very sweetly.
