Treehorn's Treasure by Florence Parry Heide, Edward Gorey
4.0
Poor Treehorn, his parents barely listen to a word he says. He answer the telephone, 'hello, this is Treehorn, and his father goes on talking like it's his wife. He doesn't hear a word Treehorn says until Treehorn gives it 3 tries and then he gets it. The poor boy is so ignored.
Treehorn loves comics. He wants his allowance to get more. His father tells him to save money, so treehorn puts his dollar in an envelope and then into the hole of a tree. The tree begins to have its leaves turn into dollar bills. Treehorn collects 26$ and then goes on a spending spree.
The is a restaurant scene that is weird. Treehorn has to wait for the money to finish growing. The next day Treehorn's dad asks for the dollar bill. Treehorn gives it to him and then all the thousands of dollar bills begin to fade. Money was growing on a tree and no one listen to Treehorn.
It's an odd little story. I hope his next dollar bill, he gets to put it back in the tree.
I don't think this is Edward Gorey's best artwork. Florence wrote the story and Edward illustrated. It's simple and not all that interesting, but it was better than the 1st Treehorn book.
It was a whole different story than normal. This was on Openlibrary for free.
