It's Not Easy Being Big!

(4) K-3 Bright and Early Book series. In a simple but sprightly story, popular Sesame Street characters Big Bird and Elmo discover that although some things are difficult to do if you are big, and some if you are small, the reverse holds true as well. The familiar characters and rhythmic text make this an appealing concept book despite the bland writing and art.
