"Told through handwritten text and colorful drawings, this book encourages creating a garden, no matter its size. It recommends types of plants, trees, and flowers to grow. And it personifies wild creatures and habitats to engender goodwill, promoting environmental appreciation through straightforward explanations of science, ecology, and everyday encounters with the natural world" --
Picture A Garden is middle grace non fiction book from Linda Hornberg. I understand that it is being marketed for younger readers but I personally enjoyed it for myself. I found it to be quite informative, useful, and will be handy to hold on to for further reference. The author had a fun way at getting her points across. I am not one that has a green thumb and thought the book made me understand more than before opening it. I thought it was great. I am looking forward to when spring hits and see if I can make something magical happen in the dirt.
Picture A Garden has proven to me that the talents of Linda Hornberg does not stop at being an author, she is, also, a gifted artist. I enjoyed seeing all of the illustrations on nearly every page. They were fun to look at and were colorful and eye catching. They were a perfect addition to the book.
I am going to give Picture A Garden a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who are between the ages of eight and twelve and love to read non fiction. I would be curious to see what other books Linda Hornberg has in store for her fans.
I received a large soft cover copy of Linda Hornberg's Picture A Garden from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
