Horris Grows Down

By Becker, Shari & Petrone, Valeria

Publishers Summary:
Horris is only four years old, but he already knows all about being grown up. He’s such a BIG little boy that his astounded parents decide he should get a job. So every morning he puts on a bow tie and rides his trike to the box factory where he works. Horris likes his job, but he’s not sure he’s cut out to be a grown-up. He hates coffee, he can’t use sharp knives, and he can barely count past ten. When he sees what most kids do for a living, he wonders if he should just go back to acting his age!
