"Do sit up Treehorn. I can hardly see your head." "I am sitting up, said Treehorn. This is as far up as I come. I think I must be shrinking or something." "I'm sorry my cake didn't turn out well," said Treehorn's mother. For every child who has felt invisible, this is the perfect book. Treehorn is clearly shrinking a little bit more every day. His pants are getting long, he can't reach the cabinets in the kitchen or to mail his letter in the mailbox. Everyone thinks he's doing it on purpose or in the case of his principal at school, that he is "Shirking." What is a boy to do? Filled with the humor that comes with truth, this book makes a great read aloud. 63 pages

• The Shrinking of Treehorn also appears in Stink: The Incredible Shrinking
  Kid. When I read the Shrinking of Treehorn my Judy Moody/Stink fans were
  excited to hear the same story that the teacher was reading to Stink's
  class. Contributed by Deb Cherry
