{ "item_title" : "Milo and the Point of Being Big", "item_author" : [" Northline Press "], "item_description" : "Milo is the smallest moose in the whole valley. Smaller than the willows. Smaller than his own shadow at suppertime.Every morning he practises being big. He stretches his neck, stands on the tallest log and says 'thump' in his deepest voice. Whoosh goes Milo. Flump go the ferns. Then Grandmother Owl tells him that big is not the point, and Milo ties his red scarf tight and sets off up the mountain trail to find out what is.On the way he meets a beaver with a stuck branch, a rabbit lost in the fog and a fox wedged between two stones who is definitely not stuck, just resting. And when the first snow of the year comes down fast at the top of the trail, it is the smallest moose, with his good nose and his long wobbly legs, who finds the way home.Why families like itA warm, funny read-aloud about being exactly the right size, for every child who has ever wanted to be biggerRepeated sound words (thump, whoosh, flump, sploosh, pop) and a refrain the youngest listener can say alongFour friends who each need help in a different way, so helping is the plot, not the lessonEnds with a father, a very red scarf and a line a parent can say softly: 'When you are, you are.'The bookAges 3 to 6; reads aloud in about five minutes16 full-colour spreads, 36 pages, 8.5 x 8.5 inch paperback on premium colour paperShort lines, repeated sound words and a refrain a three-year-old can join in onMild peril only, always safe by the next page turn; no lecture at the endAbout Northline KidsFive picture books set in one Rocky Mountain valley, with the same friends in every story: Milo the moose, Pip the chickadee, Beryl the beaver, Hazel the rabbit, Fen the fox and Grandmother Owl.
