Little Snuggler by Rob Mejia and Steven Walker
Before a baby is born, parents spend an inordinate amount of time choosing just the right namenot too old-fashioned, not too trendy, not too common, not too made up.

Each nickname features a charming illustration and a description of its corresponding traits. Do you know a Little Tiger (aka Smalitus Growlus)?
