Plantzilla Goes to Camp (Paula Wiseman Books)

by Jerdine Nolen

Plantzilla Goes to Camp (Paula Wiseman Books) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Mortimer Henryson is thrilled when he is finally accepted by Camp Wannaleaveee, his father's childhood sleepaway camp. Until he reads the camp rule: NO PETS OF ANY KIND ARE ALLOWED!

It breaks Mortimer's heart to leave his beloved Plantzilla behind. And then at camp, Mortimer discovers that the horrible, much-feared bully Bulford Whipland is his roommate. Does Plantzilla have a plan to watch over his friend and save the day?

Friendship and true devotion conquer all in this charmingly madcap picture book by best-loved team of Jerdine Nolen and David Catrow. Everyone should have a friend like Plantzilla --why not adopt a plant of your own?

Synopsis:

When Mortimer Henryson is finally accepted to his father's childhood sleep-away camp, horrors await. Will he survive Camp Wannaleaveee with a bully for a roommate and his best friend, Plantzilla, nowhere in sight? Full color.
