Illustrated by
Janet Pedersen.
Thea's science project gets out of hand when the seed she plants grows and grows. Through a series of letters to various experts, Thea describes the plant and the odd objects (e.g., a golden egg, a singing harp) that appear. Loosely drawn illustrations keep the action moving and let fairy-tale-savvy readers in on the joke.
