Explanation:
i.e "A small/smaller boy" : the reason the boy is small, is because he is being compared to other boys of the same age, and he is of less size than the norm.
"A little boy" is just a boy which is small of size, but doesn't necessarily compare the boy with anything.
You see "little boy", but not "littler boy", because "small" is used to form the comparatives and superlatives.
