Antonio is having a wonderful time visiting his grandmother "on the other side of the world." But after a week of missing his mother, he begins to shrink and continues to do so during his adventurous return journey. When he arrives home, his mother promptly puts a stop to his shrinking. The William Joyce-like illustrations done in acrylics are a good match for this charming if odd tale.
