Think Big!

September 1, 2005
PreS-Gr 2 -Vinney, a small green frog, is unhappy because he is nicknamed -shrimp - at school. He is too short to see over the counter in the lunchroom, too little to defend the ball at recess, and has the smallest part in the class play -a ladybug. When his mom suggests that he -THINK BIG, - his self-esteem skyrockets, and he finds that he can do everything he was too timid to try before. But he also realizes that being small has some advantages. He can scoot under a pair of legs to score a basketball and can still snuggle on mom's lap. The positive message, endearing characters, and cheerful cartoon illustrations give this book great child appeal." -Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY"
