“Nicola Davies is the best thing to happen to biology classes since the invention of the filmstrip.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)
Did you ever wonder why there are no high-flying superheroes in real life? Find out what keeps big animals (like us) from performing amazing feats of strength and agility, yet why being tiny and powerful might have a downside.

From an award-winning duo, an intriguing look at what it means to be just the right size. Back matter includes an index and a glossary.
