Garden by Robert Maas

This is a lovely book to use for introducing kids to the joys of gardening. The photographs are clear, rich and enticing. You can almost smell the fresh dirt! My elementary school library patrons have loved having this book as part of a display to lure children into the school garden and the work that goes with it. The text on the first few pages is charmingly poetic but hard for young readers to read or even understand when read aloud. However, once the book gets into the details of gardening, the text is clear, concise and teaches key vocabulary with italics and a nice glossary at the back. The kids loved the photos, especially seeing so many different kids working different jobs in the garden.
