The Little Big Girl (Not So Serious Jack Series Book 2) by Jack Thompsen revolves around a little girl who lives in a little city. She lives in a little house and has little shoes. Her family is big, Mom, Dad, Sam the cat, and ten brothers who are not little. She is always reminded how little she is and, no matter how hard she tried, she is still little. She tried everything she could do to make herself grow; drinking milk every day and hanging on monkey bars. The little girl is not little anymore, but her mind is still little. She studies, plays an instrument, reads books, and does everything that will make her mind grow. She then meets a boy who is just like her at university. What lessons does the boy have to teach her?

The story conveys the messages of overcoming obstacles, accepting reality, and dealing with life in a positive way. The book has a lot to offer readers in terms of the messages and the suggestions it gives. The illustrations are colorful and charming and they give clarity to the author’s expressions and thoughts. It is a good bedtime storybook and can be used for read aloud sessions in classrooms and school libraries. For all those kids who want to grow up fast, this story tells them the importance of enjoying every phase of their lives. Books with messages and concepts are good for children and this book in particular is an encouraging read for children.
