Young and curious, Lenny narrates the story of her and her brother Davey, who can’t stop growing! By the age of 7, he is as tall as a man!


As their mother struggles between 2 jobs and her bundle of worries, Davey keeps growing, and their only escape is “Burrell's Build It at Home: Encyclopedia Set”.From Amphibians to Kyzylkum, They explore the world and go through their small adventures, from Lenny's brush with the law to Timothy, Davey’s imaginary pet eagle.
