102

From The Borrowers to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, it's fun to imagine what it would be like to experience the world as a tiny creature. 102 joins the tradition of shrinking down its protagonist in a creative new picture book by Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell. George is sick in bed with a temperature of 102 (a number that readers will find peppered throughout the book). When a cricket appears, telling him "there's something you need to see," it's just the start of an adventure that requires George's help to save the day. Cordell's unique colored ballpoint pen illustrations are the perfect match for his imaginative storytelling, creating a world with a hint of wonder and mystery.
