This charming picture book takes preschoolers and primary grade readers on an educational tour of life in the garden from planting the seeds through the harvest. Cleverly written in rhyme and peppered with alliteration, it provides a fun...read aloud...contains multicultural illustrations in brilliant colors. As a boy and his grandfather go on their rounds, readers learn about the seasons, weather, where plants come from, animals that interact with them, and how plants grow. I am betting the reader never imagined so many different varieties of plants. I highly recommend the book. It is a delight to read and listen to and provides a wealth of information about gardening and farming." - Barbara Mojica Top Contributor: Children's Books TOP 1000 REVIEWER "An exciting journey...with colorful pictures...this book will captivate children and help them understand how they get the food they eat...definitely the best way to introduce children to gardening.... Entertaining...gives children a lot of information.... Parents and tutors can use it for read-aloud sessions and introduce youngsters to new vegetables, fruits, and flowers...also...new words, tongue twisters, alliteration, rhyming....
