AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW
A quick look at the birth of a community garden in the manner of a counting book. While the illustrations support the simple text and are bright and lively, there are some simple things that could have made this a repeat read – including other sets of the same number of things to count on each page, increasing the number of people in the illustrations in a way that they are accumulative and you can follow them from page to page. As is, it is a simple book that kids will read through once and not pick up again.
