My thanks to Caitlin at little bee books for a copy of this to read and review.
Cute book, though the temper tantrum did seem a bit much. Not sure I would like my kid/s to read it.
The artwork was colorful and cute. I enjoyed it.
Spoiler: the ending with the new sibling was cute and it worked well with the complaint about being "little". All about perspective!
Three solid stars. -
It's hard to hear that you're little all the time. Except for sometimes...

Adorable book about wanting to grow up but changing your mind when it happens!

I picked this up because I have a toddler at home who's going through a "I'M NOT A BABY!" phase at home right now. Boy oh boy am I glad that I flipped through it before reading it to her. Just a heads up, the little protagonist ends up with a little sister at the end of the book, something that is not happening in my house.
That being said, I think it's cute for a toddler who is getting a new baby sibling! It would have been the perfect book for my little toddler if not for the ending. -
Fans of Lulu, the Big Little Chick can add another favorite to their pile of bedtime stories. Little Shaggy, the protagonist of I'm Not Little! has the same sort of determination to prove he is bigger than everyone believes. Tired of being treated as a little monster, with everyone constantly offering him a little story, a little walk, or a little pet name, "Little Shaggy has a little news." He declares to everyone, "I'M NOT LITTLE!" And then he throws "a little temper tantrum."
Any child who has ever become frustrated with this sort of treatment will have a little sympathy with Shaggy. It is cathartic to watch him hurling toys through the air and venting his feelings to the adults in charge. The illustrations by Glenn Thomas perfectly complement the story. Shaggy and his family resemble the colorful characters from "Monsters, Inc." with horns, fangs, and odd-shaped bodies. When he stomps his little feet around his bedroom, it is amazing how much expression is shown in Mom and Dad's eyes as they peer around the edge of the door.
A perfect story for someone who is about to become a big brother or big sister and is ready to claim their "big" status, or for any young reader who is tired of being a cute little tyke and ready to step into some big-kid shoes. If you have any fans of Pixar's "Monsters, Inc." and "Monsters University," hand them this book and watch them smile.
I read an advance copy provided by the publisher for review purposes. -
Little Shaggy is tired of being called little, but is he ready to be big? A friendly, fuzzy monster families guides us through this emotional tale of growing up.
SPOILER: Also fits into the "new sibling" genre nicely and uniquely. -
The Little Monster is called little everything. Little monster, littleWhippersnapper, little love bug, but he's had enough. He is not little. Greta fun and brightly colored pictures.

Shaggy hates being called 'little' until one day when he throws a huge temper tantrum and learns that he is a big brother! Now, he doesn't want to be big!

Super cute 'growing pains' type book where a "little" monster wants everyone to acknowledge how grown-up he is!

This book makes you laugh. Shaggy doesn't want to be little anymore...until he doesn't want to be big anymore!

Fun for preschool monster storytime.

This book had a really cute ending, not expected either. The illustrations were really fun, a totally good book to read for a storytime. This was not wordy and it had fun inflections for the different characters.

This was a cute book about a little monster who doesn't want to be little, then finds out he is a big brother, and doesn't want to be big either. Great, colorful illustrations that show attention to detail.
