THE PLANT SITTER

**Into a green and growing world, Gene Zion, and Margaret Bloy Graham, the author-illustrator team responsible for Harry the Dirty Dog and Dear Garbage Man, project little Tommy and his summer enterprise. Tommy's remarkable skill with caring for plants virtually turns his orderly house into a jungle. Mother frowns, father is perturbed, but Tommy vehemently pursues his career of caring for the vacationing neighbors' plants. A twist of the familiar baby-sitting situation, a dash of fantasy, and the bouquet of Margaret Graham's illustrations blend here in one of the most beguiling books of the season.
