Synopsis
When Mortimer's parents allow him to bring home Mr. Lester's seemingly innocent classroom plant for vacation, he finds that when you give a living thing love, you just don't know where it will lead!
Publishers Weekly
A class plant develops a taste for meat. "Nolen delivers another picture book with a far-out premise and plenty of heart," PW said in a starred review. "Catrow's exuberant vine of a plant creeps and curls from spread to spread, like an exotic jungle creature." Ages 5-8. (Aug.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
