Miguel, an elementary age kid, is looking for sunflowers for his garden party. He knows the physical characteristics of sunflowers such as their height, color and texture, but now he has to find some. He goes walking around the community garden looking for them. At first all Miguel can find are asparagus, peaches, mushrooms etc. But luckily in the end Miguel is able to find some sunflowers just in time and even gets to munch on some of his discoveries along the way.
Even though the plot was very simple, I liked the way the story was told. The illustrations really added to the story. It was neat to see how all of the different vegetables grew in the garden. For example, it showed how asparagus grows in the ground, and how mulberries grow in clusters. My 3 year old enjoyed it and found it fun to compare the what Miguel found to the physical characteristics of a sunflower.
