The Practice of Deceit by Elizabeth Benedict
How big would you choose to be if you could be ANY size or shape? Would you choose to be as compact as a matchbox, or perhaps as gigantic as a coliseum? Exquisite, clever illustrations entice readers to share the wondrous musings of a child who--inspired by a pet goldfish--ponders such questions as: What size is best? How might my size influence my behavior and choices? The message-rich text has rhyme and cadence. Oh, by the way, the goldfish sings. (Readers will identify with the child, whose gender and race are not specified in either the text or the illustrations.)Elizabeth Benedict is the author of five books, including Slow Dancing, a National Book Award finalist, and Nearly, a national bestseller. She contributes nonfiction to The Huffington Post, The New York Times, Allure, Tin House, and Daedalus, among others. She lives in New York City and has taught writing at Princeton University, the University of Iowa Writer's Workshop, Barnard, and MIT.
