Description

Poor Olie. Hes 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 thatuntil Olie grows too much in this classic picture book-turned-beloved-TV-show from the brilliant mind that brought you The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.

Rolie Polie Olie grows a little every day, but his parents say hes 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 isnt the right size for anything. Then he gets a big and really bad idea: Hell use the shrink-and-grow-a-lator. But he presses the wrong button, and now hes a small as his sister Zowies dollies! Olie finds the bigger button lickety-split and up, up, UP he grows

But being grown up isnt all its 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!
