Title: June 29, 1999
Author/Illustrator : David Wiesner
Age: 7-12
June 29, 1999, which happens to be a Tuesday, is a day no
one will forget, especially the residents of Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, and in
particular Holly Evans. On that day, Holly, her town, and the country learn the
results of her science project, sending seedlings aloft into the ionosphere: An
invasion of giant vegetables. Broccoli falls from the sky, bracing itself in
her back yard; turnips hit the trail in the Rocky Mountains; and lima beans
land in Levittown. Holly never imagined the
results would be so unprecedented in scale or so fantastical in scope.
This book had marvelous illustrations that really make this
book stand out and sparkle, and youngsters will enjoy lingering over each
outrageously detailed and humorous picture. With an inventive twist at the end
to bring the whole story to its logical, though fantastic, conclusion
