Illustrated by
David Catrow.
When three young scientists leave a fungus experiment unattended over a wet and rainy spring vacation, they return to discover that an insatiable über-fungus has taken over the school, devouring (and mocking) everything in its slimy path. While Dorros tells this picture-book parody of a sci-fi thriller with relative restraint and sly humor, Catrow's wildly Seussian illustrations burst off the pages. Run for your lives!
