Synopsis: A young girl sends up a couple vegetable seeds in the sky for a science experiment. What comes down isn’t what she was expecting…
Review: I like to think of this book as a Vegan Book, or a Vook, if you will. Because if I had the power to make huge vegetables float down from the sky, you bet I’d do it before anyone could snap their fingers. Truly though, Wiesner does it again with his fantastic and speculative illustrations. Who else could drum up an idea like this? Something so strange and bizarre which he treats as so likely and plausible? Okay, well, maybe not likely, but he does give us something to think about. He does a fantastic job world-building with this new vegetable dilemma, and he does a wonderful job illustrating it. Definitely a great book to read!!
