Publisher's Note
Billy is a big boy who can do all sorts of things by himself. And when his parents tell him he is growing bigger every day, he starts to imagine what it would be like to be the biggest boy in the world.

Billy is a big boy. He can do all sorts of things by himself. "You are growing every day", says his mother. "Bigger and bigger", says his father. This starts Billy thinking about being big--even the biggest boy in the world. Watercolor ink illustrations.

Industry Reviews
"While 'The Biggest Boy' demonstrates a sensitivity to a child's desire for some kind of power in a world in which he has very little real say, it also depicts parents creating a fantasy life for their child on the child's own terms....In Mr. Henkes's text, the parents encourage the child's fantasies of power and separation and take great pleasure in his responses. The illustrations by Nancy Tafuri are bright and attractive."
New York Times Book Review - Meg Wolitzer (12/24/1995)
