Synopsis
A funny and charming picture book about sibling rivalry and the hurry to grow up. George is Lottie's big brother. He can run faster and reach higher than her. One day at the fairground, they spot the super-duper Big Dipper rollercoaster. Lottie is too small to ride it, but George is determined to prove that he's grown up enough to handle anything... I'm Bigger Than You is the perfect bedtime story for siblings.

A lovely story of love and learning what it is to be a sibling. This is a perfect story to read with your toddler if you are expecting another baby soon or if you have recently had a baby and your toddler is struggling to cope with the change. This humorous tale will delight both children and their parents with its very relatable content. The tale tells of a hamster family - George and his little sister Lottie. There is nothing more George loves doing than reminding Lottie that he is much bigger than her. But, as soon as they arrive at the fairground, George realises that there are some things even he is not quite big enough for yet. A very supportive and loving Mummy and Daddy show George that it is okay to be little and a bit scared - 'There are some things you aren't quite ready for yet and some things that you may never be ready for.' Lottie and George learn to look after each other and love each other no matter what their size. With big, beautiful, clear and colourful illustrations, this tale makes it accessible for very young readers who will delight in the fairground fun with George and Lottie. I found this great fun to read with my four year old who is constantly talking down and fighting with his two year old sister. A teachable tale to read with your child when the sibling fights begin. It can also be used with classroom topics around family. Picture books / Ages 4+ / Reviewed by Joanna Hewish, teacher.
