It’s cute. Even if I don’t really like the font for some reason. The story tells about when a seed lands and starts sending down a root. The personified animals who live underground near where the root begins to grow (a mole, a family of field mice, and some ants), are all rather annoyed by the way the root begins to disrupt their lives. It blocks the paths the ants are trying to make, it pokes a hole in the mole’s bathroom ceiling, and eventually it pokes it’s way through the home of the field mice so badly that they have to move. For most of the book, about two thirds of the page area is dedicated to the illustrations of what is happening underground, with only the top third showing what’s happening above. Until they all storm up in their frustration, ready to bring the plant to its end, until one of the little mice stops them and pleads the plant’s case, pointing out that it provides shade and a view point for the ants and play space for the mice and tomatoes for all.
