Can Do

Being the youngest or smallest isn't always easy, but here's a good picture book to help with the problem. The child in the illustrations is wishing... to fly like a bird or swim like a tadpole, but soon realises this isn't possible. So he/she decides to do what he/she can do... hop, skip, jump, which leads to whistling a tune, spinning a web like a spider, or catching the tooth fairy - all interesting wishes and ones within a small child's perspective. I like the attitude of this book - it shows empathy for the feelings small children may experience.
