Who is planting sunflowers along Pudding Street? Nobody can figure it out, except the canine narrator--and the reader, who'll quickly spot the bird that appears in nearly every illustration, stealing sunflower seeds and "planting" (actually dropping) them. The bright yellows and oranges in the illustrations match the tone of the cheery narration. An author's note explains how seeds get planted in nature.
