by Cornelius Gulere
Ages 3–7
A very tall man by Cornelius Gulere is best for children aged 3–7. It has no violence, nothing scary, no romance and no bad language.
Living in a world made for ordinary sizes is not easy when you are remarkably tall! His doorway is too low, his bed is too short, and his bicycle cramps his long legs. Encourages creative confidence and plenty of imaginative conversation.
