Reviews "Besides the flowing cadences and large illustrations that make this great for reading aloud, the book is a good example, for olders children, of the way the elements of traditional folktales can work in new stories." (Booklist, "Two So Small" by Hazel Hutchins, Annick Press, $19.95 (1-55037-651-9):paper, $7.95 (1-55037-650-0)). "The colourful watercolours outlined in thin black line are very effective, and children are sure to notice that as the boy goes deeper and deeper into the giants' territory, flowers, mushrooms, and other flora become larger and larger." (School Library Journal, "Two So Small" by Hazel Hutchins, Annick Press.) "Hazel Hutchins and Ruth Ohi once again proved to be a winning team...Ohi's watercolours are warm, tender, and sensitive to all the nuances of the text. This story of courage and trust will speak to both adults and children."
