Illustrated by
Sébastien Mourrain.
As a toddler, Little Pea is so tiny he bathes in a bowl and sleeps in a matchbox. The boy discovers at school that he is too small for the real world. But all ends well: grown-up ("but not much") Little Pea ultimately finds his niche as a stamp artist. The story's message is forced, but charming illustrations create an appealing world in small scale.
