Un couple âgé regrette de ne pas avoir eu d'enfant. Ils en viennent à souhaiter un enfant, peu importe sa taille, même s'il n'est " pas plus grand que le pouce ", ou qu'un objet de taille identique, et l'enfant naît. On lui donne alors le nom de Tom Pouce. Sa petite taille ne l'empêche pas de vivre de grandes aventures...Où l'on s'aperçoit très vite que sa très petite taille est un handicap tout à fait relatif, car Tom Pouce est particulièrement rusé, malin, et arrive à se sortir de situations périlleuses en faisant appel à son intelligence et à son sens de la répartie. Ce conte populaire fascine les enfants depuis des siècles, car outre ses multiples petits dangers et grands rebondissements, sa morale est intemporelle et universelle : qu'importe ce que la nature a fait de nous à la naissance, petit, malingre, grand, à lunettes, différent de la majorité des autres, ou que sais je encore, libre à nous de compenser cela par la ruse et l'intelligence, qui sont des armes bien supérieures, à y bien regarder.
