The Big Adventure of the Smalls - Tapa dura

In this charming and classic picture book with a mighty message, the Small children won’t let anything large stand in the way of finding their missing friend.

It’s the night of the Small Hall Ball, and everyone in the Small family is getting ready for one of the BIGGEST parties of the year. Everyone, that is, except for Paul and Sally Small, who are too young to join in the fun. But when Paul’s tiny teddy bear goes missing, he and Sally have no choice but to sneak into the festivities, and nothing—not secret doors, spooky passageways, or even a swinging chandelier—will stop the smallest of the Smalls from finding Paul’s furry little friend.
     Filled with delightfully intricate details and featuring an illustrative surprise at the end, this tremendous tale is perfect for exploring again and again.
