Growing a Garden

"Summary: The very basics of starting a garden for preschoolers-Grade 1. (The rest of the series covesr all types of gardens, animals in the garden and tools for the garden.) Review: This is the perfect introduction to gardening, especially for early readers. While the book would appeal to PreK-1, it's listed as the reading level of K-1. It seems a bit more like 1-2. However it's a great introduction. Features real photographs. Excerpt: "When the soil feels dry, it's time to water the garden. Water in early morning. Then more water soaks in to the soil." http://smsbookreviews.blogspot.com/2010/07/jaunt-through-capstone-publishers.html"

"Each spread in these attractive titles provides a large, vivid photograph on one side, opposite a sentence or two of friendly text that teaches the basics while introducing new words and encouraging reading practice. Shiny, colorful covers and a diverse cast of adults and children make this series an appealing addition that ups the ante for this type of material."
