my colleague recently ordered a book online for her classroom
then added a second book
because it was such a deal at the great price of $2.50.
when her order arrived, she only saw one book
until upon further inspection
she discovered
much to her surprise
sitting in the corner of the box
the $2.50 book
which was actually a miniature edition
while it was technically a book
it was perhaps better sized for the fairy world
though still a good deal
as we definitely had more than $2.50 worth of laughs.

I have a miniature book like that. I found the appropriate sized stuff animal in my slimmed down collection of stuffed animals and opened up the little book and plopped it on its lap like it was reading the book!

I am pretty sure I know the age of the children in your friend’s class. 🙂
And I am pretty sure the children will want to listen to it and see the pictures over and over. 🙂
And I am almost certain the children will soon be saying the words right along as it is read. 🙂
It is that kind of book. 🙂
I speak from experience. 😉

I’ve always loved miniature things. Does this book include all the words and illustrations of a normal book? Bet the kids would love it!

Got to see the humor in life. I have a wonderfully funny image in my mind of you reading your mini book to your students and holding it up for them so they can “see” the pictures.

I always liked reading the book “Jump” By Scott M. Fischer. I always made the kids jump at the word JUMP! I’ve bought it several times for schools, libraries and friends with young kids. My son and I also really liked books by Steve Jenkins,(in order of top three favorites) “Down,down,down: A Journey to the bottom of the Sea”, “Biggest, Strongest, Fastest”, and “Actual Size.”
