Horris Grows Down

32 pp. | Putnam | February, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-24358-5 $15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Valeria Petrone. Four-year-old Horris is unusually large for his age. Perplexed, Horris's parents send him to get a job. Despite his size, Horris realizes that he is better at little kids' activities, such as playing and snacktime. Though Horris looks more big-headed than big-bodied, the digitally rendered, retro-looking illustrations accompanying this tale are appealing.
