It started with a single seed in a worn-out pot. As the seed grows, Maisy's need to plant grows as well and before long her room is filled with a multitude of seeds, vines and colors. Soon flowers are outgrown by vegetables and fruits as "big as dinosaurs". Her family complains that there isn't enough room for both people and vines, then the house itself begins to sprout! The real glory of the book lies in Bowman's art. The intricate complexity in his treasury of color and pattern is a true feast for the eyes and the imagination. Bowman has created a maze of tantalizing visual puns, puzzles and paradoxes. Splendid!
