"Titch was little. / His sister Mary was a bit bigger. / And his brother Pete was a lot bigger." Hutchins's understated, childlike story about a family's littlest member is here presented in a small, vertically rectangular board book. The original's blend of spare text with bright, uncomplicated illustrations makes the classic picture book perfect material for the new format.
