But he doesn’t notice that his machine is belching smoke, or that he is leaving crushed flowers in his wake. Now his friends are NOT happy and Mr. King isn’t very proud of himself. But — aha! — Mr. King reconfigures his machine and now instead of smoke his new Flower-Fan sends out gusts of flower seeds. Working together, Mr. King and his friends use his new, smokeless machine to plant flowers, and Mr. King discovers that he not only likes flowers and machines, but caterpillars, too! A playful and engaging read-aloud story with themes of environmental responsibility, creativity and friendship, Mr. Kingês Machine is the third and final book in the Mr. King series, which features environmentally friendly tales starring the shortsighted but well-meaning Mr. King and his helpful forest friends.
