“If you want to pretend you’re shrinking, that’s all right,” said Treehorn’s mother, “as long as you don’t do it at the table.”
No onearound seems to appreciate what Treehorn’s going through, when he startsshrinking after playing a strange board game. His parents are busy, hisfriends laugh at him, and he even gets sent to the Principal’s officefor shrinking. Or was it shirking?
Clearly, the adults inhis life have no clue and can’t the end, Treehorn figures itout on his own, and all is well. . . . At least until he turns green.
Thisoddly offbeat, surreal, and funny story is illustrated with EdwardGorey’s signature pen and ink drawings. It will appeal to any kid whofeels they’re not truly seen or heard by the grown-ups in their for adults, too.
This 50th Anniversary edition includes an appreciation from Caldecott Honoree Lane Smith, illustrator of The Stinky Cheese Man.
