(2) K-3 Illustrated by David Parkins. With a storyteller's voice, Smith introduces Mr. Potter, who lives alone. One night he invites his dog inside--and then his tree. He transplants it, eventually cutting a hole in the roof, which leads to other unforeseen consequences. The sumptuously colored pictures balance realistic touches with the outlandish comical events, grounding the preposterous story in the real world.
