This was a really enjoyable tale. It tells the story of tale of how Peter Peabody Pepperell on a secret mission managed to save the world. When Peter was just seven years old, he began to shrink until he was only a few inches tall. Being so tall he was able to use tame animals and birds as modes of transport. My children loved this book as did I can I cannot wait to read it to my class also. It is exactly as fantastical tales should be written.

I hadn't read this original of this book but was excited to get the ARC. When I requested it I didn't even know it was originally printed earlier but the language gave it away and when I looked into it it made sense. Overall the story is an excellent adventure and the illustrations are beautiful. A great read for any young reader!
