Irene's Wish by Jerdine Nolen
3.0

Age: Kindergarten-2nd grade

An imaginative tale about a father that turns into a tree after swallowing some seeds and a family's love for their father, be he tree or man. Irene's wish for her papa to stay home more often is stated once so pay attention (says the woman that didn't)! Although a child's imagination could run with the tale, I was a little weirded out when tree branches started sprouting from his head.
