The feminine of pequeño, and the form you meet most because so many of the nouns it goes with are feminine — casa, cocina, talla, habitación. It agrees like any adjective and holds no irregularities.
The comparative is where Spanish parts company with English. Más pequeño is smaller in size; menor is younger, or lesser in rank and importance. Mi hermana menor is my younger sister, not my smaller one. Position matters too: una casa pequeña is a small house, while un pequeño problema, with the adjective in front, means a slight problem rather than a physically tiny one.
