(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Martin Matje. Wallace Hoskins won't take off his fireman's hat. After his family notices that his legs are getting longer while the rest of him remains the same size, Wallace's mother consults the aged Nanny Heppleweather, who knows the problem's source and its unusual solution. Kids will enjoy the story's silliness, inventiveness, and amusing ink and watercolor illustrations.
