So many kids want to grow up too fast.  And parents just want them to stay small.  Gertie is just such a kid, or a yak.  They are the smallest of small and want to be big.  That is until they find out that sometimes being small is just perfect, especially when you can do tall things.  This book was lovely.  The cadence was spot on.  It was so good it was a bit tongue twisty.  Kids are going to love it and it is perfect for storytime.
