Good question. No they don't actually - Polaris (end of handle and North Star) and Kochab (tip of the bowl) are the brightest stars. All the others are significantly dimmer, unlike the Big Dipper, whose seven stars all have similar magnitudes.

Where is the little dipper in the sky?

The little dipper is in our Milky Way Galaxy, actually not all that far from us. It is above the big dipper, so that it appears to be pouring into the big dipper. If you can see the north star, that is the tail (or end of the handle) of the little dipper. The middle stars of the little dipper are somewhat faint, but the two outside stars of the top and bottom of the little dipper pan are about as bright as the north star.
