In Planting the Wild Garden, young readers learn how humans, plants, & animals all help great the lavish wild garden known as the planet Earth. Starting with a gardener and a boy, readers follow the path of plants from seed to full grown plant through vivid, colorful illustrations (by Wendy Anderson Halperin) and light, lyrical prose. Young children learn the many ways seeds are spread and plants grow.
My five year old son loved to read this book aloud with me. The text was easy enough that he could read most of it himself, requiring minimal assistance.
As with A Place for Fish, which I reviewed earlier this week, Planting the Wild Garden is the perfect book to add to your Earth Day reading list. Highly recommended!
Thank you once again to Peachtree Publishers for providing me the opportunity to participate in this tour!
