Goodreads

A child takes readers along on a Thumbelina–esque adventure in this whimsical and beautifully illustrated book. The shrunken blond caucasian little girl explores the world of flowers, bees, beetles, and fairies on the back of her dragonfly friend Priscilla. An element of suspense is that she will stay shrunk unless she returns to the same spot by sunset. Thin-lined watercolor and ink illustrations cleverly bring to life the dragonfly-filled landscapes and endearing characters. A fun bedtime story for preschool to primary children and can be used as a model for writing adventure stories in elementary classrooms. Pair with Aunt Isabel Tells a Good One by Kate Duke (1994).
