George Shrinks

George Shrinks - William Joyce
HarperCollins - 1985
Reading Level: 5+  Number of Pages: 13 Genre: Fiction

Summary: George wakes up and discovers that he has shrunk! The story reads as a letter to George, and the pictures demonstrate what George does when he is an inch tall. He plays with his brother, cleans his room, and does the dishes. The illustrations show how much fun he is having. He turns back to normal size just as his parents get home.



"One day, while his mother and father were out, George dreamt he was small, and when he woke up he found it was true."
 
My Impressions: A fun picture book. It looks like everything is more fun when you are only an inch tall.

Parents' Guide: No problems.

Recommendations:Little kids will love this book. There exists an animated cartoon series with the same premise.
