(2) PS Jacob has one problem--he is smaller than everyone else in his family. Keller creates an endearing humanized bear family to illustrate this common problem of the youngest sibling. On a big tree Papa draws a line to mark how tall Jacob is; predictably, he has a happy surprise in the spring. The warmly drawn domestic scenes have simple charm, and the economical text perfectly encapsulates this universal predicament.
