(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jason Gaillard. A little boy with a gift for making things grow takes in so many of his neighbors' sickly plants (Mr. Vine's ivy, Officer Peel's orange tree, Mrs. Thorn's cactus, etc.) that they take over his room. The solution seems rather obvious: return the now-healthy plants to their owners. It's an appealingly sweet-natured story, and the illustrations are effective in their profuse lushness.
