We’re going to the garden!
This easy-to-understand book about gardening has facts about how plants grow and where our food comes from! The information about what gardens are, how seeds grow, pollination, the anatomy of plants, and what happens under the soil introduces complex concepts in simple terms.
There is something new to see in a garden every day!
The illustrations are bright and vibrant, detailed enough to be fascinating without being so busy the message gets lost. The quality of print is exceptional and the book is sturdy and just the right size for little hands.
There’s a lot to talk about on each page, and the larger text is succinct for toddlers. The sub-text has other interesting facts that are great for older brothers or sisters that also have something to learn. It’s also great for beginning readers as well, so the entire family can join in the fun.
This reviewer is a big fan of the entire “Hello World” series. There are currently 30 books offered and something wonderful to learn in each one. You’re certain to find one that interests your child.
