The Plant that Ate Dirty Sock by Nancy McArthur JFIC

Think owning a plant is boring? Think again! Norman and Michael, two brothers, send away for seeds in the mail. They keep the plants on a steady diet of plant food, water, and scraps of junk food. As the plants grow bigger and bigger, Michael discovers that his dirty socks keep disappearing. Are the plants responsible? How will their parents take it? Did the plant just try to talk? Found out the answers to all these questions and more in this funny science fiction book.

Food for Thought: Would you ever think of a plant as a pet? Would you want one that ate socks? How do you think people would react if they knew?
