As far as dippers go, the Little Dipper is pretty much the smaller of the two (even though the size of both sets of stars and their relevant distance from little   old us is huge). And to add more teeny cred, it's even located in the smaller of the "bear" constellations, Ursa Minor. What's more, being so small, it doesn't even classify as a constellation at all but rather an "asterism". So that's a whole lot of smallness all round really. DP
