The Garden of Giant Peas — questions and answers
What is "The Garden of Giant Peas" about?
Plant three ordinary seeds and grow a garden the size of a hill. In MeStory's personalised edition your own child is the hero of all 24 pages.

By lunch there were leaves.
What happens in the middle of "The Garden of Giant Peas"?
Halfway through the book the adventure turns: The neighbour came out, laughed, and fetched a wheelbarrow. The pumpkin had grown too, and now leaned against the shed. The carrots were so long that pulling one took three people.
How does "The Garden of Giant Peas" end?
