Age rating and parents' guide:Un homme très grand
by Cornelius Gulere
Ages 3–7
Un homme très grand 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. Instead of giving up, this cheerful man gets creative—crafting longer handles, taller doorframes, and an extra-large bicycle to fit his towering frame.
