What a wonderful book, full of colour and easy to read! Any child would enjoy reading this book and pointing at the pictures too!
The poetry flows well, the pages are attractive to children and parents will find this book easy to explain, both the story and words too!

With thanks to the publisher, NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to read this book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Such a fun little book to read with your children. Mine enjoyed the pictures and the story so much that they insisted on reading it again and again.

My favorite thing about this book was the art. The art was simple but engaging. The poem was nice and would be a perfect read for a bedtime story. As a kindergarten teacher I would buy this for my classroom library, but wouldn't necessarily read it aloud to my class.

From the outside, it looks like a book that is all fun and childlike. But then you turn the pages and see the illustrations and then suddenly it would just hit you...

It has a deep meaning. Kelly Anne Manuel really did an amazing job flipping not only the title...but the message that goes in it. It is not only a small world, but also The World Small.

Cute little bedtime story poem. I thought the poem was actually put together pretty well considering it's for children who probably don't know what makes poetry poetry. I thought the pictures that went along with it were alright, probably would make more sense for all of them to make sense with the scene they go with though. It was an enjoyable experience despite that though and I think kids would really like this. Definitely would be great for the parents who have to read minimum three books to their kiddos at bedtime too!

Our Thoughts ~ we absolutely loved this book, it was an adventure from the start between the rhymes and gorgeous pastels mixed with all the elements the world has to offer it was a beautiful bedtime story. my daughter was able to read it and said at the end that she would want to read it again. We read it to my son who's only 1 yet he seemed very interested.

We Appreciate being able to receive a ebook copy to read thank you!

Very cute! This story was quick and had a nice message for children. The illustrations didn’t always make sense with the words on the page, but I don’t know if they were meant to, as all of the illustrations flowed together.
