What does "Little girls and cats" mean?
I saw the following sentence..
>> Little girls and cats were playing in the park.
But it seems this sentence can be interpreted in two ways, doesn't it? (Question 1)
1. (Little (girls and cats)) were playing in the park
2. ((Little girls) and (cats)) were playing in the park
No.2 is easy for me, it means "so young girl" and cats were playing.
But how about No.1? (Question 2)
Does it mean 'very young "girls and cats" ' were playing, or "almost no girls and cats" were playing (only boys or nobody)??
To use the word "little" is difficult for me, please help me.

Little? Small??
What is the difference between these sentences??
1. The employees received a little Christmas bonus.
2. The employees received a small Christmas bonus.
It's difficult for me to understand to distinguish vocabularies of amount...
Not only above, but for example, what is the difference among "enormous" "huge" and "big"??

Please tell me about popular math textbooks in US
I'm learning math English, and I want to see some textbooks which are used in US for native kids.
Maybe it helps to learn math English for foreigners!
Could you show me some titles of popular math textbooks which meet conditions below??
1. For junior high school or high school students (I'm looking for both, but not math in uni)
2. Basic one and High-level one (I'm looking for both)
3. If the textbooks were used in many school or many states, it will be great!
I checked Amazon.com, but there are too many choices...

Please give me some advice.

Differences of 3 * (2 + 5) and 3 * 2 + 5
For example,
3 * (2 + 5) = 21
3 * 2 + 5 = 11
These expression's solutions are different,
but how do you distinguish these two expression on oral?
Both seem "three times two plus 5",
but of course the listener doesn't understand which one speaker means...
ALSO,
{-3(x+y)}^2 ... negative three x plus y raised to 2 ??
-3(x+y)^2 ... negative three x plus y raised to 2 ??
-3x+y^2... negative three x plus y raised to 2 ??
How do you distinguish these expressions on oral??
Please show me how to read such complex math expression...
English is much more difficult than math...

Is is strange if male singers sing "Let it go"?
I belong choir and we want to perform "let it go", which is from the movie "frozen".
However, I'm thinking of making a transcription for male choir (I'd like to arrange for myself),
but I think the lyrics are for a girl, for example, they say
"A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the Queen"
"Let it go, let it go. That perfect girl is gone" etc...
Is it quite strange for native English speaker if male singers sing such lyrics?
If I should (can) change the lyrics partly, how shall I change?
(We sing in original key (it means, not with low voices))
It's not 100% linguistic question, but if you like music and help me, I'd be glad, thank you :)
