Vegetable Garden

by Douglas Florian

Book Overview

Children are fascinated by watching plants grow, and in this colorful picture book even very young children can follow along with a family as they plant, tend, and harvest a vegetable garden. The sun shines brightly, summer rain falls, and vegetables grow and ripen.

A child gardner's must have

My 4 year old son loves this book! He memorized most of it which helped him learn what we needed to do next in the garden. Then, we couldn't remember the next line. We went back to the library without title or author and just what we memorized. THe librarian found it! Hurray! I would have easily given it five stars but the illustrations aren't my favorite. When I see all the other Douglas FLorian book I have trouble keeping from buying LOTS!
