“Repetition throughout makes this story a strong choice for reading aloud […] The longing to be bigger and more independent is a common desire of young children and will likely resonate with many kids and their caregivers.”
–Kirkus Reviews
“It’s frustrating being little in a world of high counters and cabinets where your parents and siblings tower over you and the cookies are always out of reach […] [I Want to Be Big! offers] a good lesson in adaptability.”
