Never Too Little to Love, by Jeanne Willis, is about a mouse who loves a giraffe. He tries to reach her by stacking one thing on top of another on top of another. Finally, the stack crashes to the ground before he reaches her. She hears the crash, sees him, and because she loves him, too, bends w...
Nothing against Tony Ross, but for some reasons the books with his illustrations are the ones I absolute hate/dislike. It is not the art that is bad, I actually quite like his art, but the stories are horrible. They often have terrible, disgusting characters (or side-characters), and often the stori...
This is a story of a mouse who loves a giraffe but she is soooo tall and he is soooo little. Will he ever be able to show her that he loves her?

And although the two books stand alone q...
My love for this book may be bound up with when I read it, but I think even stripping out the situational affection, it's a lovely story. I just spend a week up in the woods, in a family cabin. We drove into town early in the week and blinkered the local library into giving us a library card, becaus...
