When a son asks to hear about when he was a small boy, his father tells him about the time when he was so small he could walk his pet ant on a leash, wear a thimble for a hat, and be carried around in his father's shirt pocket, in an imaginative bedtime tale with full-color illustrations.
When father puts young Henry to bed he always says "Dad, tell me about when I was small." His father complies, telling Henry how, when he was little, he used to be so tiny that he could take his pet ant out for a walk on a leash! What's more, he got his hair combed with a toothbrush and was such a little boy that he could even fit in his father's shirt pocket. Henry was so small that his father's original name for him, Hieronymous, wouldn't fit.
An enchanting, comic bedtime story that can make even the smallest child feel big, When You Were Small is the perfect book for children in a hurry to grow up.
