from the LEAPFROG book series.
From the back cover:-
'The flowers in Mr Spotty's potty grow up to the sky. Mr Spotty has no idea that his dog, Dot, might be the reason why......'
Example of text:-
`Mr Spotty's potty sits by his front door. 'He puts lots of seeds in it....... and waits for rain to pour. Dot, his dog, just nods at people who go by. They stop and look at the flowers...... ...that grow up to the sky. One day, Dot got fed up just sitting by the door. She got up and went inside.... and sat upon the floor.....'
When the flowers stop growing, despite the heavy rain, Mr Spotty takes them indoors..... where they make a remarkable recovery...so what exactly is Dot doing to enhance the growth?
