Little Dad
Illustrated by Nick Sharratt
Imagine crossing the films Big starring Tom Hanks, with The Incredible Shrinking Man and Look Who’s Talking and you have the gist of Little Dad . Grumpy little brother, Benjie, wants to be big whilst, in sheer frustration, Dad says he would not mind being small again. The dual transformation that follows produces Big Benjie (a six footer baby brother to Sam and Holly) and Little Dad (a toddler-sized dad who talks like a baby and wears a nappy). Holly and Sam struggle with Mum to put things back to normal.
A comic and appealing book for young fluent readers and listeners (as long as the person reading it aloud remembers whether they should be speaking in a high squeaky voice or a deep one!). With cartoon style illustrations.
