Illustrated by
Mike Reed.
Poems from the perspective of the little guy: too short for amusement park rides, too small to stand up to bullies--but just the right size to play in a homemade fort or scoot through bigger kids' legs to the front of the ice-cream line. Adoff's writing captures childhood feelings and sensibilities, while Reed's colorful textured art adds action and humor.
