Logline:
George imagines himself shrunk down to action-figure size while doing some chores.
London:
I like when he goes in to water the plants because it looks like a jungle.
Ben:
Simple is the game here: The story is concise, a fool's paradise of miniature riffs (all of them clever, particularly the naval battle in the bathtub). This book started with London - I had never read it prior to that, despite it being a bestseller the year my younger brother was born - and made an easy choice most nights: It was short, and she was dazzled by the pictures. (Come to think of it: This will make "Pages of the Week" a difficult choice for both of us.)
What it would be like to be in this Book:
London is still dreaming of watering the plants so she can prance among their massive stems. This book was made to ponder "what-if" scenarios. In fact, the whole thing has that Is-it-a-dream? quality. I'd read a whole book of his interactions with the pets.
