Customer Reviews

Someone Bigger

When "Someone Bigger" was checked out of the library for my two year old grandson, he absolutely loved the story. Wanted it read to him each night before bedtime!! So, when it came time to buy a Christmas gift for him, I purchased "Someone Bigger." As you can imagine, my grandson enjoys having his very own book.

Great Lesson

Obviously not the most realistic of books and more fun for the adult than the child, but an excellent reminder for me to make sure that I let my sons have the fun and not underestimate their abilities.

Favorite!!!!

My all time favorite storyhour book, fun to read to little kids ages PreK-1st.

Kite flyin' Sam is an independent guy

If your little one is chafing at your rules and restrictions, this book is well suited for you (or if your child likes kites or is names "Sam"). Illustrations are accessible and cheerful, rhymes well. I like the large size of the book and the illustrator's use of perspective. Best of all, the take-home message is very clear -- sometimes kids are the best candidates for the job.
