Help! You're Shrinking
by Edward Packard

Help! You’re shrinking!

You and your dog are hunting for turtles one day when you see a large bottle leaning against a log. You pick up the bottle, but it slips and a blue liquid splashes on your arm. Before you know it, you’re no taller than a blade of grass! Help! You’re shrinking! A hornet as big as a helicopter is coming at you from one side, and a giant muskrat from another. What should you do?

Will you be able to get back to the right size? It all depends on the choices you make. Whatever size you end up, all your adventures will be fun!
