Top 5 Tuesday ~ Sizes

Top Five Tuesday was originally created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, but is now hosted by Meeghan @ Meeghan Reads. To participate, link your post back to Meeghan’s blog or leave a comment on her weekly post. I found this on Davida's Page @ The Chocolate Lady.

This week’s topic is a Books with Sizes in the Title. Meeghan says, well, I have no idea what Meeghan says. She published a list for the remainder of the year but I haven't heard from her since. She had mentioned that she had problems posting, so let's hope that is the reason. However, it's weird that I can't find that list again. Luckily, I had copied it.
Bourgeois, Paulette "Big Sarah's Little Boots" - 1988
A favourite book of both my boys even though the main character was a girl. It's all about growing up and how it can be both a painful and a joyous occasion.

Bridwell, Norman "Clifford. The Big Red Dog
- 1963-2015
Clifford is huge, he is taller than a house. But he is the best friend of Emily Elizabeth, a little girl who tells us his stories. There are around 80 books where little children can read about the special bond between a dog and his little girl, about the adventures they have together.

- 1990-2000
Jack Prelutsky writes poems that make up a picture, he writes poems that are jokes, he writes poems that are very observant and he writes poems that are just nonsense. But what all of his poems have in common, they are really really funny and kids love them. 

Trivizas, Eugene "The Three Little Wolves and The Big Bad Pig" - 1997
As the title already suggests, the wolves are little and the pig is bad, so the whole story is just the opposite from the usual fairy tale. It shows kids how every story can have two sides and how you can understand every story differently.

    1. I thought so, too, Kitten. It was really fun to find those books. I could have done a lot more then just five but that's when I thought I'd concentrate on children's books.
