Illustrated by
Tracy Dockray.
A mother and daughter talk about how the young girl is "little enough to ride piggyback to the stairs" yet "big enough to hop all the way down." Some comparisons are moralistic--she's "little enough to jump on the bed" yet "big enough to make it when [she's] done"--but most will speak to preschoolers. The illustrations successfully show the juxtaposition between big and little.
