Sarx and the Thorn is a story about Sarx, a new corn plant in Johnnie Waters’ garden.  Although a friendly cat warns Sarx about allowing thorns to grow next to him, Sarx ignores her advice when a thorn pops up and appears small and friendly.  The story has a happy ending while also reinforcing the lesson of the harm that comes when thorns are allowed to grow.  This story is a fun read for kids, and it’s unfortunate that it’s no longer in print although we have 3 copies left.
