A Teeny Tiny Girl

Oct 05, Luisa Knight rated it it was ok Shelves: This tale was just a bit odd. The jacket of the book says that half the story is seeing the faces hidden in the pictures. I'm not sure this would have made a difference if I'd seen it before hand but For the classic children's stories, I love to go to Paul Galdone's books.

His illustrations are charmingly old school and his telling of the age-old stories spot on. September - not specifically a Halloween story, but gently spooky so it fits. Ben was instantly a fan, and we've read it over and over. I love hearing his theories about what happened to the bone, and why all the other objects disappeared from the cupboard, too.

Is this really a classic fairy tale? It was ridiculous how many times "teeny tiny" was written in this book. There was very little plot. And who was calling for the bone?! This was one of the worst children's books I have ever read. My 8 year-old agrees.

Oct 20, Emily Ramos-Niaves rated it it was amazing Shelves: This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This is a fun tale for kids. Children can relate to the character because she is so small and hides under the covers like we all did as children when we were scared. It teaches about the power of confidence and voice when the teeny tiny woman scared away the scary voice.

Mar 12, Clare Bird rated it did not like it. Dec 02, Liz Todd rated it liked it Shelves: Just as odd as I suspected.. Interestingly, I tried it out in my K classroom and the phrase "Give me my bone Oct 07, Stacie rated it really liked it Shelves: Creepy spooky ghost tale that kept me thrilled to the end.

Just scary enough to be fun for the younger set. Students will love the "teeny-tiny" repetition in the description of every item on the page. Oct 27, Story rated it liked it. The book is cute but very anticlimactic. Oct 28, Jordan Smith added it Shelves: This book is a folktale which describes a small old woman who one day wonders out into a graveyard and finds a small bone. She takes the small old bone with her because she wants to use the bone to make a pot of soup for herself for dinner.

However, when she arrives back at home, she is too tired to cook the soup, so she goes up for bed and puts the small old bone in her dresser or cupboard so that she does not lose it. Although she is very frightened by the mysterious voice, she does not do anything about it. Each time she hears the voice she just hides her teeny-tiny head under her covers and is eventually able to fall back asleep.

This book is a ghost story, so it would be a great book to read and introduce to my students right before Halloween. I will have my students note all of the places in the story where the phrase is used, then as a class we will brainstorm ways to add more repetitions, and we will then conclude the discussion with a statement about where adverbs and adjectives belong in English sentences.

For ages 4 to 7, folk-tale, Halloween, read-aloud, and fans of Paul Galdone. Jan 28, Amy Lafleur Meyers rated it really liked it Shelves: A teeny-tiny woman goes to get a bone for soup and finds a teeny-tiny bone in the graveyard. While the teeny-tiny mutes the scariness slightly , it helps to make it a good scary read aloud. I had read this book before as a child and found it scary, as an adult it still has a creepiness to it. This is a fun and creepy story about a teeny-tiny woman.

I thought that the teeny-tiny bit would be too much, but we listened to the story narrated by Jane Staab on audiocassette while we followed along with the story and it was just a funny little tale. The illustrations are interesting and the narration really helped to liven up the story.

Dec 02, Chelsea rated it liked it Shelves: A teeny tiny woman lives in a teeny tiny house and pretty much does everything teeny tiny. There is not much to the story line, but it is very repetitive and an easy read. I would most definitely use this book to help my students with fluency. I like the teeny tiny woman and I think the story is cute, I just have fun saying teeny tiny with kids over and over again.

The more practice with tongue twisters, the better fluency!

I liked this folktale. The ending is quite funny. I considered using it in storytime, but I thought some kids might find it too scary.

However, I would share it with the right kid. If you like the saying 'teeny-tiny' this book is for you! It is repeated approximately 50 time.
