George wakes up one morning and realizes that he is only 3 inches tall! He spends the day doing mundane tasks that are extraordinary because of his size.

I like how the cover copy for this one is just "george shrinks", and it's totally accurate.
I think I like the tv show better? Heretic, I know, I'm sorry.

Always a hit with younger readers. Pleasant illustrations with a bit of a crayon vibe. Fun and short bedtime story.

George wakes up one morning and he’s very small. His parents left him a note on what to do while they’re not there. He does all his chores small. He has a great imagination to be able to find ways to do them all. The best one was when he was riding his baby brother around. The nephew laughed and laughed at that.
This has great ideas, but it doesn’t feel like William Joyce’s best work. It’s not bad, I just felt like it didn’t have the William sparkle I’m so used to. It’s still a cute book and worth a read.
The nephew thought this was a wonderful idea. He said, “if this happened to me, I would go and live in Mr. Potato head. I could close his butt and that would be my room.” He has it all planned out already. He would put the lego person of Ron and Harry in there with him as pals. He thought this was cool, so he gave it 4 stars.

This is a DCFS instruction book. The parents leave their young son and his BABY brother at home with a note instructing the kid in the seven million things he is supposed to do before they return. There is no explanation as to why he wakes up as if he is Thumbellina either. If it is ALL a dream, including the note, that’s even worse as it means he believes his parents would do this to him. What the heck were Scholastic Book editors smoking in 1985?

Fun wordless picture book. Lots of action going on. Would be great to ask kids to tell the story back to you based on what they see in the pictures.
