By (author) Thomas Valerie; Illustrated by Paul Korky
Short /annotation:
Winnie and Wilbur are fascinated by the creepy-crawlies in the garden and decide it could be fun to shrink right down to their size. But when you”re knee-high to a caterpillar, there can be some very hairy moments. And when a humongous wand is too big to handle, will things ever get back to normal?

When Winnie and Wilbur discover life in miniature, the bugs in their garden suddenly seem very big indeed. It”s the start of an exciting safari. But when excitement turns to survival, mini Winnie and tiny Wilbur would rather be their rightful size again.

This edition comes with a wonderful soundtrack of the narrated story with alll kinds of music and effects.
