From School Library Journal K-Gr 3—Young Tokyo lives with his mother, father, grandfather, and cat in a small house that his grandfather has lived in since childhood. The text is neither too simple nor too complex but just what is needed to relate this imaginative tale of environmentalism. One day, Tokyo is gifted three seeds, which he plants in a tiny space by the house. Grandfather suggests that Tokyo come up with a solution. The illustrations, created digitally with watercolor, ink drawings, and collage, are big and blocky and could be used in and of themselves as an art lesson on the illusion of space through collage. The very next day, there are wildflowers growing. Readers will wonder what the three seeds could possibly produce and will be thrilled as they see the lush garden begin to grow. Now, the house is surrounded by the tall buildings of a city. Throughout the week, the garden grows so much and so many animals move in that it is difficult for the people of the city to go about their buWill they ever experience the natural world again? One day, an old woman offers Tokyo seeds, telling him they will grow into whatever he wishes. Tokyo and his grandfather are astonished when the seeds grow into a forest so lush that it takes over the entire city overnight.

It wasn't awful but it was silly. 193), but, no matter whether it was the primary intention, doesn't the act still count? Can the good of increasing the purity of Vesani gold, bringing a veritable flood of foreign money to the city, be negated by the fact that Basso prospered more than anyone else? Can the Enfranchisement Act, a measure that finally grants citizenship to the various immigrants that make up so much of Vesani life, be really diminished because its primary aims were to allow Basso to marry who he wanted and to insure a massive influx of newly enfranchised voters that would never be loyal to anyone but him?The Folding Knife isn't devoid of the occasional blemish. Frankly, I don't see how anyone reasonably bright and not in a state of desperation (perhaps a tall order with this subject) would not be able to recognize the negative factors of this route that the author calls out, but clearly many do not. You will get a certain amount of encouragement to
