It's hard to be little in the middle of everything big. This little bear has legs that dangle, arms that can't quite reach, and a sister who likes to remind him that she's bigger. He is sure that he will never, ever, ever grow. But just when he begins to lose hope, he finds proof that maybe—just maybe—he is growing . . . a little at a time. Valeri Gorbachev's charming illustrations and Michael J. Rosen's rhythmic text perfectly capture the frustration children feel when they can't do something because they're too small—and the excitement of discovering each new thing they can do!
