Wonderlit Review

This early chapter book introduces readers to Mrs. Gaddy, whose purchase of a seemingly innocent vine quickly escalates into an absurd, house-consuming problem. The story humorously depicts her growing frustration and eventual clever solution as the vine envelops her home and even her animals. It's a lighthearted tale of problem-solving and resilience, perfect for young readers beginning to tackle chapter books. The gentle humor and clear narrative make it an engaging read for children aged 4-11, particularly those who enjoy silly situations and a triumphant protagonist.
