Quite charming
Living on this Earth, right under our very noses, is a race of tiny people. They are not dwarfs or elves, but simply tiny people, six inches tall at the most and possessing beautiful, furry tails. And in the home of the Biggs, lives a family of these tiny people, called the Littles.

In this book, cousin Dinky Little comes over and announces his engagement to be married to Della Kett. The whole family would like to come to the wedding, but it is so far to the Long's house, where the wedding is to be. But, don't worry; Dinky Little has a plan for transporting them, a helium balloon. This is likely to be a big adventure for some very little people!

I am a fan of Mary Norton's Borrowers books, and was saddened by the knowledge that there would never be any more. When I discovered Mr. Peterson's Littles books I was overjoyed, hoping that these would be just as good. Well, I wasn't disappointed! This book in particular is adapted from the book The Littles Have a Wedding, and is layedout so as to be easy for younger readers.

The story itself is quite charming, and Jacqueline Rogers' illustrations are wonderful. If you have a young reader (4-8 is probably just right) who would like reading stories of little people, then this is the book for you. My family and I recommend it to you and yours.
