(3) K-3 Illustrated by AG Ford. An oft-told fable about swallowing seeds comes to life in this whimsical original tale of a wish coming too true. Irene wishes her busy father would "just stay home and play." When he swallows apple seeds and they germinate inside him, he's (temporarily) transformed into a tree, giving the family more time with him. Ford's rich paintings grant Papa-Tree gentle features and a loving semblance.
