Plot Summary: A little girl watches her neighbors plant beautiful flower gardens and is confused when her mother's garden is full of only strange, ugly plants. She wishes that her mother would plant a flower garden but her mother insists their plants are "better than flowers." Finally the vegetables are harvested and made into a delicious soup that they share with all their neighbors.
My Rating: A. This was a good, unique story with a good execution. It was simply told and easy to follow but also fun to read with a good resolution.
