From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-- In this sequel to Awfully Short for the Fourth Grade (Holiday, 1989), nine-year-old Noah still enjoys making up scenarios for his dozens of plastic, action-adventure figures. Finding the magic powder that he used in the first story to bring his "little guys" to life and to shrink himself down to their size, he convinces a friend to accompany him on a miniaturized exploration. Unfortunately, the powder activates not only the small figures, but also his cousin's vicious toy monster who's out for blood. Noah must learn leadership skills in order to marshal the plastic forces and defeat the creature. More Honey, I Shrunk the Kids than The Indian in the Cupboard (Doubleday, 1985), this has nowhere near the depth and power of Banks's trilogy. Hillenbrand's slapdash black-and-white drawings are uninspired and apt to disappoint readers. Woodruff does, however, affirm the value of individual initiative and cooperative effort in this light-fantasy adventure.
