Is it this way, or that way?
A cute and humorous original Taiwanese picture book
that will make you like it more than "a little bit"!
Rabbit and Fox open a cookbook, lining up flour, powdered sugar, butter, eggs, and chocolate chips, ready to make a special birthday gift. But they immediately run into a problem:
How much is the "little bit" of salt written in the recipe?
They try various methods, racking their brains to find the answer, but everything seems odd. Just as they are troubled, Rabbit suddenly comes up with a brilliant idea—so, they decide to take a leap of faith! Will they succeed?
Zhu Pin-Hsuan, a dazzling rising star in the picture book world, presents another humorous masterpiece after the highly acclaimed "A Mushroom Grew on My Head."
This story starts with a very ordinary, common little dilemma in life: "How much is a little bit?" This sparks a fun dialogue between the characters and brings a knowing smile to the readers. In their quest for answers, Rabbit and Fox invent all sorts of methods that "seem smart but are actually a bit bizarre," leading them further astray. Watching their lack of progress, one can't help but worry for them.
The work is full of natural humor, making people chuckle and leaving a lasting impression.
Turn to the last page, and an unexpected little surprise awaits you!

● "'How much is the 'little bit' you're talking about?!' This common question in life becomes an interesting philosophical question in Pin-Hsuan's story. Taking out a measuring tape, a timer, tissue paper... Is there a correct answer? I really want to know!" — Hsu Chiung-Wen (Owner of Little Tree's Home Picture Book Cafe)

● "Following the last 'A Mushroom Grew on My Head,' this time the author uses 'a little bit' to turn seemingly absurd discussions into infinitely growing possibilities? 'A little bit' is an indispensable existence, reminding me of the words I most often use with children when mixing colors—What color is the ocean? It's white plus a little bit of blue, and how much is a little bit of blue? In the process of experimenting, these slightly different color variations, stroke by stroke, become an ocean! Let's follow Rabbit and Fox in 'This Is Not Just a Little Bit' and use 'a little bit' to create infinite possibilities!" — Teacher Ko Ko (Aesthetic Explorer)
