About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is frustrated with being small and constantly wishes they were bigger. It's a perfect story for the preschooler who insists 'I can do it myself!' but runs into physical limitations. In this simple tale, Curious George is tired of being too little, so he dreams he's a giant. While being big is fun at first, he soon discovers he's too big for his bed, his toys, and even the town. The story gently explores themes of self-acceptance and gratitude through a lighthearted fantasy. It validates the desire to grow up while humorously showing that every size has its own advantages, making it a comforting read for children aged 2 to 5.
