This book is so much different from the other two books I've read from him. It isn't as repetitive and doesn't flow as easily. While reading, I felt so bad for the title character. I was just thinking why does he have such less extravagant things then his brother and sister. I ready didn't think the seed he planted was any consolation for everything he was missing out on, but I did love his expression on his face when his doing saw the plant. If I were to guess a message to the story I'd say it's something along the lines of patience. Titch waited all the time and finally had something better than what is brother and sister had. Kids can relate to this so much and that's why I think they'd like this book.
rather inane story, but good for an early-reader. Titch is the smallest of three siblings and is disappointed that he doesn't have the bigger toys and tools his siblings have. But when he is the one to plant a tiny seed (because he is the smallest), they realize that small things grow to be big.
Read in The 20th Children's Book Treasury. ?áVery short story, with a good lesson - with patience, tiny seeds can grow big... and tiny children will, eventually, too.
How you may be the smallest child with 2 older sibling and how the oldest usually gets the biggest and best things and the middle gets the in betweeners and the smallest gets the smallest until the smallest seed becomes the biggest thing.(tree)
The story shows the different things that each of the three children have. Pete always has the larges, Mary has the medium size toys, and Titch always has the smallest. Titch and his siblings work together to create a flower in a flower pot.
Titch is little and everyone else is bigger than him. Titch plants a seed and he watches it grow, grow, grow! Estimated age: 3-5
This book talks about three siblings and how they are different but still family.there is a big brother who has all big things a sister who has medium size things and titch who is the youngest and has small things until the end when his plant grows into a huge thing like his brother has.
