Tiny and Hercules

Another gem from Amy Schwartz just as "charming and hilariously understated*" as ever. (*New York Times) Five fast and funny chapters of the lives of two rather unusual Tiny, an elephant with a fear of ice skating and a newfound love of knitting, and Hercules, a mouse with a heart of gold and a desire to learn to paint. As different as can be, somehow together they make the perfect team. Young readers setting out on their own with books will cheer for this funny and touching duo.
