Antonio on the Other Side of the World, Getting Smaller — Malachy Doyle

Malachy Doyle’s fanciful "small" tale, illustrated in delightful detail by Carll Cneut, will bring smiles to anyone who has ever missed the comforts of home.When Antonio visits his grandmother on a tiny island on the other side of the world, he has a whale of a time. But there’s one slight problem: he seems to be getting smaller and smaller. Before long, he can’t even throw jam sandwiches to the sea monsters because he’s too small to see over the side of his grandmother’s boat. "You’re missing your mom," notes his granny, who tells him it’s time that he headed for home. So he finds a job on a sailing ship - and then the increasingly small Antonio’s big adventures really begin.
