Like a laugh-out-loud spin on Thumbelina, this whimsical, beautifully illustrated picture book stars an adventurous little girl who shrinks down to the size of a bug and takes a tour of the swamp on a dragonfly's back.
Have you ever wanted to ride a dragonfly? Well, there’s one problem… You’re too big! But if you follow these simple steps, you'll be sure to have a fantastic journey:
  • Step 1: Put a rose petal in your pocket at sunrise, which will make you shrink. But don't forget: you must return by sunset— or else you’ll stay shrunk!
  • Step 2: Pick a blade of grass and lasso the first dragonfly that buzzes by—we'll call her Priscilla. Climb aboard!
  • Step 3: Joust a bumblebee, groove to the Beetle Band, dine with fairies, and have an adventure. Watch out for the frogs! They love to eat dragonflies, and Priscilla looks quite tasty...
    • Oh, dear! The sun is almost touching the mountains. Can you and Priscilla zip back in time before sunset? 
    With a delightfully funny text by an elementary school teacher and deliciously playful artwork by a beloved illustrator, here is the perfect picture book for any child in search of adventure!
