Review

"The Tiny Tale of Little Pea" is a well illustrated picture book about Teeny Tiny Pea as he contentedly goes through life until it's time that he begin school. Once in school, Teeny Tiny realizes that he just doesn't fit in. He is "too small for his chair, to small for the flute, too small for gym class, and even for his plate." At recess he stays by himself. His teacher worries about him. He spends his time drawing and then he grows up! And you'll never guess what he became.

He draws pictures on postage stamps, because . . . "one is never too small to be a great artist."

An adorable confidence builder of a picture book. Although we all have our differences, there is always something we can do to make our mark in the world.

Wonderful cartoon-like illustrations. A great book to use when teaching confidence in ourselves and appreciation of our own uniqueness.

Overall Book Score: very good
