The Garden's Review
This book is a good book no matter who you are. This is a great book especially for children because you can tell what is going on just from the pictures, and this helps them understand unknown words better. It also helps the child understand that through work come rewards. This is a great book that you and your child will just want to read over and over again, and the illustrations are very fitting. ...

How To Cultivate Houseplants
This is an excellent indoor gardening how-to-do book written for the young adult and beginner to indoor gardening. ISBN 0-688-14754-2 is the library edition with the better binding. The book has 50 large-size pages. As it is written for the young adult the pages are easy to read. However, the information provided is thorough and gives the beginner everything needed to get started with an indoor garden. The full-color illustrations are in watercolor and add quality to the book. ... Read more

a fun book!
This book is hours of fun outdoors for both kids and adults. The pieces are written with a genuine enthusiasm and the illustrations are great. I have given this book as a gift several times and all have enjoyed it just as much as I have. I am eager to recommend this book to you as well!

A rich, bountiful harvest of words
This is the kind of book I longed for as a child.I'm no longer a child.No matter.This book sits proudly among my other books--something I pull out now and again when I need some verbal refreshment.The words and colorful illustrations from a variety of authors and illustrators soothe and comfort as we wend our way through different plants and vegetation--from creeping ivy to the branches of an old apple tree. Inspiring, thoroughly enjoyable, delightful illustrations.
Down to Earth is a great addition to my library.As an adult I thoroughly enjoyed it and related to many of the authors' memories.Touching, humorous, creative.Both entertaining and practical (activities areoutstanding).A great gift, a great book to share with a child -- to dothe activities together, to discuss the various authors' experiences.Bothyoung and not so young would find value in this book.My 28 year old sonand his wife will love it.I'm so glad I stumbled upon it.As an addedbonus, proceeds benefit Share Our Strength, the nation's leading antihungerorganization. ...

A creative and entertaining tale of a girl and her grandfather's garden
Martin Brennan' charming picturebook, I Saw It In The Garden, is enhanced with equally charming illustrations by Michael Glenn Monroe. A creative and entertaining tale of a girl and her grandfather's garden, I Saw It In The Garden informatively carrying its young readers through "changing of the seasons" driven changes in the garden. I Saw It In The Garden offers a lyrical context for the emergence and growth of life with so very many plants and critters to be found in the garden. A helpful and encouraging guide with a fun and interesting story throughout, I Saw It In The Garden is very highly recommended reading, especially for those young readers hoping to care for a garden of their own someday with the packet of seeds that is included with this wonderful picturebook.
A Wonderful Way to Share the MAGIC & BEAUTY of gardening with children!
This is a WONDERFUL book with WONDERFUL illustrations! A great way to introduce young children to the concepts of GROWING and NUTURING via the garden!Sweet and Entertaining...Buy it, you'll be pleased :)

I loved it!
Spring has returned to Minnesota and the trees are budding and the flowers are beginning to peek through the soil. Everything looks new, fresh and oh so wonderful! I'm always in awe of the rebirth.
