Shrinking Sam

32 pp. | Barefoot | March, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-1-84686-038-6 $16.99
(4) K-3 Ignored by his family and teacher, Sam starts shrinking. He falls down the drain and meets a girl in the same predicament. They begin to grow by listening to each other, and Sam keeps growing once he realizes his family really loves him. Accompanied by perky collage illustrations, the story makes its heavy-handed point with a fairly light touch.
