[LM_NET] ELEM: need books for boy--short stature

[Janis <jnsyr@INFIONLINE.NET>]

Hello! I have a parent who asked me for books for her 3rd grade son,  
who is short for his age. When the teacher had them do a vocabulary  
exercise and use words from a specific list to describe classmates,  
they described him as "dainty." Other kids are also apparently  
teasing him, too. I remember my brother going through the same  
problem, and how hard it was for him.

Can you recommend any books--both books about boys of short stature  
and also books on helping kids cope with that problem (both for  
parents or for kids)? The only book that I had that appeared on my  
OPAC was Stink the Incredible Shrinking Kid (Judy Moody's younger  
brother, for those who know the JM series). I appreciate any help you  
can give me, and would be glad to post a HIT if it would help others,  
too!
