Mrs. Oliver's dreams have come true when her husband finds a tiny baby on the doorstep of their farmhouse.

Olly begins to grow at an alarming rate, and in just three days he's big enough for kindergarten. He makes friends with the children at school, but his size keeps getting him in trouble . . . until he realizes all the things it allows him to do.
