Review

This sturdy boardbook will appeal especially to kids enamored of tiny things. Itty Bitty is actually a tiny, tiny dog. He comes across a huge bone and decides to make it into a home. He chews a doorway, windows, and then eats all of the inside of the bone. It seems huge and he needs furniture, curtains, and the like, so he travels to a department store but everything there is way too huge, but then he finds the Teeny-Weeny Department which is filled with everything he needs in exactly the right sizes! Illustrated in bright colors in a simple fashion, this book will be one that little ones will definite request over and over. This might be a wonderful choice for a family that is planning a move and trying to calm anxious little ones who might not be too thrilled with the plan.

Overall Book Score: very good
