If your little one is chafing at your rules and restrictions, this book is well suited for you (or if your child likes kites or is names "Sam"). Illustrations are accessible and cheerful, rhymes well. I like the large size of the book and the illustrator's use of perspective. Best of all, the take-home message is very clear -- sometimes kids are the best candidates for the job.

When "Someone Bigger" was checked out of the library for my two year old grandson, he absolutely loved the story. Wanted it read to him each night before bedtime!! So, when it came time to buy a Christmas gift for him, I purchased "Someone Bigger." As you can imagine, my grandson enjoys having his very own book.

Obviously not the most realistic of books and more fun for the adult than the child, but an excellent reminder for me to make sure that I let my sons have the fun and not underestimate their abilities.

I loved this book. I got it recently from the library for my daughter and upon reading it, she loved it and I did too. The pictures are colorful, cheerful, and well-done. The rhyming verse is fun to read but not overly simplistic. Most of all, it has a great message: sometimes parents need to step aside and let kids experience things for themselves.

After we return this book to the library, I think I'll turn around and buy it from Amazon, so that we can revisit it often!

My all time favorite storyhour book, fun to read to little kids ages PreK-1st.

Sam and his father build a kite. Sam can't wait to fly it but his dad says that he's too small. All of a sudden the wind gets up and carries the father and the kite up into the sky. Several people try to stop it such as the postman, a bank robber, policeman and others. Sam proves that little guys can do do big things as he reaches for the string and saves them all!


The book was easy to read aloud. It was written in singsong verse.

I would recommed this book to the preschool age group for storytimes. I fell like they can realte to the main character in the book.
