There's a Hole in My Garden

32 pp. | Whitman | September, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-7855-1 $16.99
(3) K-3 In January, a boy drops a marble in a small hole in his garden, hoping to grow a marble tree. Each month, the hole gets bigger and the ever-hopeful boy drops in progressively larger objects (dinosaur, house, rocket, etc.). A final fold-up page reveals his surprising reward. The deadpan text and black-and-white spot art on verso pages face full-page illustrations of increasingly ridiculous offerings.
