In the olden days, we had tiny books and no one complained. Tiny! All books should be small. How small is small enough? The size of a quarter would do very nicely! Take a look at this video to see what I mean:

While I love ornate, overly decorated children’s books, this miniature one is adorable! Gonna be hard on the eyes for the cane-waving old timers, though!
