Treehorn's Treasure
Treehorn's Treasure, by former Pittsburgher, Florence Parry Heide, is a sequel to the immortal The Shrinking of Treehorn which I read recently. This one, too, is illustrated by the equally immortal Edward Gorey. Again, I can recommend it.
Face facts; you might as well just get the trilogy.
This one was published a decade after its predecessor, but the theme had not withered over time: here again Treehorn is being ignored by the adults. His father gives him a dollar, but insists that he save it. Treehorn hides it in a knothole in the tree outside, and soon discovers that some of the leaves on that tree are turning into dollar bills. Bills he uses to buy comic books, and other important supplies.
Treehorn mentions to several adults that the leaves are turning into dollar bills, and the adults respond in several ways, but, of course, none of them think to check out the tree.
What does all this mean for the economy?????
Well, I won't spoil it.
