Synopsis

A mouse-sized kid tackles giant-sized tasks in this classic picture book from the brilliant mind that brought you The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.
    When he wakes up a tenth of his normal size, unflappable George doesn’t mind at all. Now he can fly his toy plane, for real! Swim with this goldfish! Sled down the dishes on a sponge! But reality soon sets in: how will he be able to make his bed, brush his teeth or take care of his baby brother when he’s no bigger than a spoon? And...is that a cat lurking ‘round the corner?
    William Joyce’s classic, which was made into an Emmy Award winning television show, is back!

About this title

About the Author:

William Joyce does a lot of stuff but children’s books are his true bailiwick (The Guardians, Dinosaur Bob, George Shrinks, and the #1 New York Times bestselling The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, which is also his Academy Award–winning short film, to name a few). He lives in Shreveport, Louisiana. Talk to William Joyce and look at upcoming work at @HeyBillJoyce on Twitter and Instagram.

From the Back Cover:

He's smart.
He's swift.
He's small.
The heroic George is back!

One day, while his mother and father are out, George dreams he is small, and when he wakes up...

George shrinks.

Willima Joyce, the creator of many best-selling and award-winning picture books, presents a new deluxe edition about the adventures of heroic little George.
