If you want to pretend youre shrinking thats all right said Treehorns mother as long as you dont do it at the table. No one around seems to appreciate what Treehorns going through when he starts shrinking after playing a strange board game. His parents are busy his friends laugh at him and he even gets sent to the Principals office for shrinking. Or was it shirking Clearly the adults in his life have no clue and cant help. In the end Treehorn figures it out on his own and all is well. . . . At least until he turns green. This oddly offbeat surreal and funny story is illustrated with Edward Goreys signature pen and ink drawings. It will appeal to any kid who feels theyre not truly seen or heard by the grownups in their life. Works for adults too. This 50th Anniversary edition includes an appreciation from Caldecott Honoree Lane Smith illustrator of The Stinky Cheese Man.
