Zusammenfassung It’s Little Archie’s birthday and orderly Mum and Dad give him orderly presents, which he must open in an orderly fashion – no paper ripping! But barmy Uncle Bernie gives him something altogether different – a bottle of Magic Shrinking Powder! Unable to resist, Little Archie swallows some – fizz and all. Suddenly, Archie finds himself only three inches tall and tiny enough to be popped in the post . . . soon he is off around the world. The question is, how will Archie get back before his parents notice? The perfect book for readers big and small!
