Tad doesn't think he's too small, but everyone else does Pig won't let him help carry watermelons and Cow won't let him help paint a wall. You're too small they say. Later, though, Tad comes back to the barn and finds the animals have been locked out--and he realizes he can save the day Tad's not too small to crawl through a crack and unlock the door. He's just the right size.

Pursuing his career in illustration, Steve Lavis illustrates a diverse range of media from record sleeves to billboard posters. He also designs and illustrates book covers for authors such as C.S. Lewis. Steve likes to cycle or sail to relax. He lives in somerset, England, with his sons Mike and Sam.
PreSchool-Grade 2–Tad the mouse is too tiny to help with anything. He can't push a wheelbarrow full of watermelons for Pig, stack hay with Goat, paint a wall with Cow, or sit on Goose's eggs. However, when the animals are locked out of the barn and dinner's waiting inside, the mouse is just the right size to crawl through a crack in the wall and let everyone else in. His friends rejoice and Tad answers them with a loud "BURP" as he finishes a piece of the biggest pie. The bright watercolor paintings reflect the size difference between the mouse and the other creatures. In one picture, Tad is shown as being much larger than a ladybug, a bee, and a snail, effectively demonstrating that he is not the smallest creature in the world even though he may feel like he is. Children will enjoy the humor in the illustration of Tad trying to sit on Goose's eggs. Readers who have often been told that they are too small to do something will relish the fact that this creature is able to save the day. Suggest this book for one-on-one sharing or pair it with Tana Hoban's Is It Larger? Is It Smaller ? (HarperTrophy, 1997) or Steve Jenkins's Big & Little (Houghton, 1996) for a storytime exploring the concept of size.–Sheilah Kosco, Rapides Parish Library, Alexandria, LA
