Summary: A boy uses a shrinking device to see the beauty of the world
Comment: Young Howard receives a strange gift from his grandfather: A device, worn like a watch, with a series of buttons on it. As he presses the buttons in sequence, Howard shrinks to the size of a cat, then a mouse, then a fly, and even smaller! Howard makes several discoveries as he shrinks. When he shrinks to the size of a flea and hitches a ride on a dandelion seed, the tiny boy happens upon a fruitfly. Howard discovers that, seen up close, the insect has beautiful rainbow-colored wings, and is more than the fleeting little dot it usually looks like. Howard shrinks so tiny that he can hop onto a bumblebee like it was huge and he was a little bug. He then is surprised to see there is already a little bug on the bee! Howard discovers a kind of louse that lives on a bee's body, one that he could never have seen at his usual size. Howard shrinks small enough to see DNA molecules before a fail-safe kicks in and starts to reverse the shrinking. But as he shrinks, and then as he grows, Howard gets to see up close the beauty of God's creation.
