AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
A mom and her son plant a vegetable garden. The boy is really excited to help plant, watch the plants grow and then harvest the vegetables. he marvels at the strange shapes of the vegetable, and realizes that they taste the same as the ones found at the store. He loves the carrots with their crazy shapes, and the curly cucumbers and the lumpy apples.
A great introduction to gardening. A good way to get children excited to help by first getting the garden area ready, planting seeds and harvesting, eating, baking and cooking the vegetables and fruit. It made me remember when my children and had a big garden and we all worked in it to produce our own vegetables. We had so much fun. Now is a good time to read this with your child and then you can start your own garden with your children.
