About Poor Little Guy:

Told with wit, a wink, and a delightfully dark sense of humor, Poor Little Guy by author/illustrator Elanna Allen celebrates the very smallest and all of their giant victories. This simple text told through dialogue is perfect for the youngest picture book fans. For fans of Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! and Finding Nemo, Poor Little Guy adds a cheeky twist with graphic appeal. Kirkus Reviews called Poor Little Guy “wickedly funny” adding, “The book at times recalls Jon Klassen’s This Is Not My Hat in both subversive humor and minimalist aesthetic… [It] packs a punch. A clear victory for a pufferfish and, more importantly, readers.”
