Review
A young girl helps her grandmother garden and learns about animals, plants, seasons, and the weather. The artwork in this book is detailed and wonderfully representative of the experience of gardening. The story itself is not particularly compelling; however, the information is great for families wanting to introduce young children to basic agriculture. Recommended. Laura Ullom, Centennial Library Intern, Centennial Library
