Too Small
Hardcover
(Groundwood Books Oct. 30, 2000)
Angus and Jack must move with their mother to a smaller house. When they complain, Mother turns to a wise woman for advice. The woman recommends inviting the dogs inside to play, asking the relatives to stay, and hosting a sleepover. Bedlam breaks out. Quite distraught, Mother revisits the woman, who says, "Send everyone home now." In this retelling of a Yiddish folk tale, Ann Blades riffs in rhyme on the theme "everything's relative." Building situation upon situation, the story, illustrated in whimsical watercolors, reaches a wild crescendo and peaceful resolution.
