Elephant, Mouse, and all their friends work together and have fun. "Just a Little Bit" is a sweet story about friendship and teaches us all a great lesson. As it was inscribed to me by my friend, "Keep this book on hand to remind you at times when you may be tempted to give up on something, that it may just be that next little bit of effort, that little extra push that makes a world of difference." This book made me smile and I loved the illustrations too!

From the illustrator of the "Tacky the Penguin" books comes this little visual treasure, a story book that shows-and-tells about balance -- and cooperation!

The animals are a total hoot -- the giraffe sits side-saddle, among other things, and the expressions on their faces as they all cramon the seesaw are just perfect.

(First time I ever saw a lady lion with a mane, though.)

This would be a cute story even without a positive lesson, but the fact that it promotes cooperation, teamwork, and "try, try again" makes it even better. The preschoolers in my classes always love it. Remember, what may seem like a cliched, overworked idea to us grownups is still fresh to young children!
