Tiny and Bigman

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lynne Cravath. On a West Indian island, men feel weak around Miss Tiny because of her height, brawn, and booming voice. When short, scrawny, hearing-impaired Mr. Bigman arrives, the townsmen assume he'll run from Tiny, but after she builds him a house, he's smitten. The writing has panache and the illustrations verve, creating a funny feminist tale that may leave one question for some readers: Can only "weak" men love "strong" women?
Reviewer: Nell Beram
