Though Toddie (The Wicked Big Toddlah) is pretty conspicuous, looming above the New York City crowds, Ma and Pa lose sight of him. Alarmed at first, the boy soon makes friends with normal-sized toddlers then climbs the Empire State Building and spies his relieved parents. There's great humor in Hawkes's energetic, cartoony illustrations of the winsome giant and the spacious scenes he dwarfs.
