Marie Hoy-Kenny: This Plant Is Not Boring, Gebunden

Klappentext

Mia wants a dog, but her mom wants her to start with something easier: a plant.

Mia thinks her new plant is beyond boring, since it doesn't do anything fun, like shake a paw. But when she turns her back on it for just a moment, it eats her sandwich. Then her stuffed lion. Mia tries shutting it in the bathroom, but she returns to see "Plants are NOT boring!" scrawled in lipstick on the bathroom mirror. As Plant feeds on more and more of Mia's stuff, she wonders if there's anything she can do! When she spots the care tag inside its pot, Mia realizes that how she treats Plant matters. If she takes good care of it, maybe Plant could be a great companion after all.

Praise for Mike Deas' illustration:

★"Thrilling, joyous...Deas's expressive artwork includes the colorful landscapes and flora of Sueño Bay's forests, from bright greens and yellows in the daytime to subdued blues and grays at night and in the rain. Atmospheric, wordless pages pack a huge punch in this book's emotional communication. The side effects of loneliness result in magic and danger in this satisfying, relatively self-contained third entry in the 'Sueño Bay Adventures' series."--School Library Journal , starred review for Hermit Hillin the Sueño Bay Adventures series
