Emmy was a good girl. At least she tried very hard to be good. She did her homework without being told. She ate all her vegetables, even the slimy ones. And she never talked back to her nanny, Miss Barmy, although it was almost impossible to keep quiet, some days. She really was a little too good. Which is why she liked to sit by the Rat. The Rat was not good at all . . . Hilarious, inventive, and irresistably rodent-friendly, Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat is a fantastic first novel from acclaimed picture book author Lynne Jonell.
And you thought spiders were scary before... This faithful comic-book adaptation brings Richard Matheson's masterful exploration of withering 1950s masculinity to vivid new life. Following a freak accident, family man Scott Carey must confront the increasingly (or is it decreasingly?) obvious reality that he is shrinking, at a rate of 1/7 inch per day. And this fall in stature is not merely physical, but social as well. He finds himself dropping in standing, first past the neighborhood teens, then his wife, his young daughter, his cat, the birds in the garden, and finally that spider. The one you'll never see the same way again. Along the way, he confronts questions about what it means to be a man, to be human, or to exist at all. Collects the four-issue comic book series, adapted from Matheson's science-fiction classic, by Ted Adams (Diablo House), with art by Mark Torres (Judge Dredd).

"If you want to pretend you're shrinking, that's all right," said Treehorn's mother, "as long as you don't do it at the table." No one around seems to appreciate what Treehorn's going through, when he starts shrinking after playing a strange board game. His parents are busy, his friends laugh at him, and he even gets sent to the Principal's office for shrinking. Or was it shirking? Clearly, the adults in his life have no clue and can't help. In the end, Treehorn figures it out on his own, and all is well. . . . At least until he turns green. This oddly offbeat, surreal, and funny story is illustrated with Edward Gorey's signature pen and ink drawings. It will appeal to any kid who feels they're not truly seen or heard by the grown-ups in their life. Works for adults, too. This 50th Anniversary edition includes an appreciation from Caldecott Honoree Lane Smith, illustrator of The Stinky Cheese Man.
