When Ruby Tried to Grow Candy
VALORIE FISHER
RUBY LOUISE HAWTHORNE can’t believe her eyes. Right there, in Miss
Wysterious’s garden, teacups are growing on trees, shoes are sprouting like
weeds, and eggbeaters are jangling from branches. So maybe Ruby should
listen when Miss Wysterious tells her all the important rules of
gardening—like watering and weeding and labeling what you plant. That
way, when Ruby plants her jellybeans, they really just might grow. . . .
Anyone with even the slightest sweet tooth is sure to rejoice along with
Ruby when her candy finally sprouts! And it’s all depicted in Fisher’s mixedmedia
illustrations that include real candy!
Valorie Fisher is the creator of many innovative books for children, most
recently How High Can a Dinosaur Count?, which Publishers Weekly called an
“entertaining book of numbers” in a starred review. Her other books include
Nonsense! and Ellsworth’s Extraordinary Electric Ears and Other Amazing Alphabet
Anecdotes, deemed “eye-popping” in a starred review from Publishers Weekly.
She also provided the photographs for Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Stuart Little,
a middle-grade novel by Peggy Gifford. She lives in Cornwall Bridge, Connecticut.
