When you give a living thing love, you just never know where it will lead....

  Mortimer Henryson has always had a special place in his heart for Plantzilla, his third grade's class plant. But when he offers to take Plantzilla for the summer, young Mortimer is in for more than he bargained for.

  All Plantzilla needs is a little water, food., love, and lots of sunlight. Mortimer's kindness comes back to him— beyond his and his family's wildest imagining.

  Open your heart to Jerdine Nolen's story of caring and friendship, brought to vivid life by David Catrow's hilarious illustrations, and you may decide to adopt a plant of your very own today.
