<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>First published in 2002 by Laura Geringer Books.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Poor Olie. He's is too Rolie big to do this, too Rolie small to do that. But a turn with the shrink-and-grow-a-lator should fix all that...until Olie grows <i>too</i> much in this classic picture book-turned-beloved-TV-show from the brilliant mind that brought you <i>The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore</i>.</b> <p/>Rolie Polie Olie grows a little every day, but his parents say he's still not big enough for a trip to Mount Big Ball. At the same time Pappy says Olie is too big to jump on his bed! Olie feels like he isn't the right size for <i>anything</i>. Then he gets a big and really bad idea: He'll use the shrink-and-grow-a-lator. But he presses the wrong button, and now he's a small as his sister Zowie's dollies! Olie finds the "bigger" button lickety-split and up, up, UP he grows... <p/>But being grown up isn't all it's cracked up to be either. Olie bonks his head on the moon, burns his bottom on the sun, and lands with a big KABOOM on Mount Big Ball. Lost and lonely and so, so tall, Olie wishes he could be back to being just plain Olie!<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>William Joyce does a lot of stuff but children's books are his true bailiwick (The Guardians series, Dinosaur Bob series, <i> George Shrinks</i>, and the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling <i>The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore</i>, which is also his Academy Award-winning short film, to name a few). He lives in Shreveport, Louisiana. Talk to William Joyce and see upcoming work at @HeyBillJoyce on Twitter and Instagram.
