Children's Literature
Mouse is scared. Big Bro is coming! Big Bro is rough and tough and really big, he tells Frog. Then he scampers off to hide. Now Frog is scared. He goes to warn Parrot about Big Bro. Parrot warns Chimpanzee. Chimpanzee warns Elephant. Soon they are all hiding. And waiting. What will happen when Big Bro finally shows up? This delightful story proves that "big" is in the eye of the beholder. Preschoolers will laugh out loud at the illustrations. And because the story is short and lends itself well to dramatizing, parents aren't likely to mind reading this book over and over.
