She launches her seeds and on June 29, 1999, people on earth make a remarkable discovery!. They found giant vegetables everywhere. People found cabbage, cucumbers, lima beans and broccoli. One day, Holly watched the news and she heard the newscaster say "Cauliflower carpets California, spinach blankets Greenwich and arugula covers Ashtabula." Holly realized that she did not plat and send these types of vegetables into space and she wondered what happened to her vegetables....
Teachers can use this book in their classrooms to spark the imaginations of the scientists in the class. The teacher could also use this book to talk about predictions and cause and effect. The students can make predictions abut what will happen to Holly's vegetables and also make more predictions when Holly realizes that the huge vegetables were not hers.
