Little Elliot, Big Fun

GODWIN BOOKS, HENRY HOLT BOOKS
FOR YOUNG READERS, MACMILLAN

LITTLE ELLIOT and his friend Mouse go to the amusement park to see the sights and ride the rides―water chutes, roller coasters, carousels, and more. But Elliot isn't having much fun―the rides are too wet, too fast, too dizzy, and just plain too scary―until Mouse figures out a way to help him overcome his fears. Together, Mouse and Little Elliot can do anything!

  • "...adults reading aloud may privately muse about the poignancy of a story of friendship perched on the edge of World War II, and this adds a pleasing nuance. Gorgeous illustrations and an evocative time period..."

    Kirkus

  • "This beautifully designed title is perfect for units on friendship, New York, or summer vacations. Sure to be a hit at a Big Fun storytime."
