The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If you need to see photos of the actual book or have questions about the condition, please call or email.
They called him Tiny because he was the smallest boy in the class, but his name was really Jim. Tiny shouted loudest. He told the tallest tales. He drew pictures of the biggest ships and buildings and animals. In the playground he dashed ahead of the others and grabbed the first ride down the slide. It seemed as though Tiny felt he had to show off because the others were bigger than he was. Then something happened to show all the children that stature is not always measured in feet and inches. Tiny had earned the right to his own name, Jim.
Jerrold Beim demonstrates again by means of simple, dramatic incident his insight into the minds and hearts of children. Meg Wohlberg's handsome pictures, many in color, are admirably suited to this appealing story.
