  This story revolves around a toddler's fantasy about what he would do if he were big. He dreams of staying up late and roasting marshmallows; swimming in the sea with whales and riding a real motorbike; growing triffids, Venus fly-traps and man-eating orchids instead of mustard and cress; having 12 lions, two tigers, a bunch of grizzly bears and a shark instead of a dog, a cat and a goldfish; pushing his mum around in a shopping trolley. He also realizes that being small has its advantages - because when you are little you can squeeze into the comforting warmth of your parents' bed. Debi Gliori's other books include New Big House , New Big Sister and My Little Brother . She has also illustrated the Lizzie series of books by David Martin and has written Pig's Birthday .
