mrchance 's review for:
The Little Guys
by Vera Brosgol
Brosgol's newest picture book is about a horde of tiny little sentient acorns who take everything they can in the forest, even if it means beating up bears to do it. The greedy little bastards demonstrate the dangers of mob mentality. When they try to take too much, they lose it all and realize the error of their ways. The animals they stole from end up helping them.
The Little Guys' mindset makes a 180 so fast I didn't understand why or how they changed their minuscule minds, making the happy and harmonious conclusion feel unearned. However the artwork is charming, especially the first page that shows us the microscope scale of these little guys.
