"Bigelow is afraid of almost everything until he meets the tiny Mrs. Pimberly, who thinks he is a giant, and gives him some surprising advice"-- Provided by publisher

"If you want to pretend you're shrinking, that's all right," said Treehorn's mother, "as long as you don't do it at the table." No one around seems to appreciate what Treehorn's going through, when he starts shrinking after playing a strange board game. His parents are busy, his friends laugh at him, and he even gets sent to the Principal's office for shrinking. Or was it shirking? Clearly, the adults in his life have no clue and can't help. In the end, Treehorn figures it out on his own, and all is well. . . . At least until he turns green. This oddly offbeat, surreal, and funny story is illustrated with Edward Gorey's signature pen and ink drawings. It will appeal to any kid who feels they're not truly seen or heard by the grown-ups in their life. Works for adults, too. This 50th Anniversary edition includes an appreciation from Caldecott Honoree Lane Smith, illustrator of The Stinky Cheese Man.

Available for the first time in one volume, this trilogy contains three complete, entertaining adventures of the lovable child Treehorn: The Shrinking of Treehorn, Treehorn's Treasure, and Treehorn's Wish.

Caught between her mother's fashionable world and her own deep-felt values, Sara must make a painful choice.

Poor Treehorn's problem is politely ignored by his parents and barely tolerated by his teachers.
