Gr 1-3–This colorful, encouraging text explains the necessary steps to create a garden at home. Children will learn some of the benefits of having a home garden, such as creating a beautiful, fragrant space and providing a place where insects such as bees and butterflies can visit. Careful instructions, accompanied by large photographs and diagrams, detail the basic supplies needed to cultivate a garden. Readers are guided through the process of maintaining the garden and ensuring the growth of the plants. The large, clear text is easy to follow, with Spanish vocabulary words featured in boldface and defined in a picture glossary. Tips are listed in separate green boxes and provide additional facts and information. The positive, supportive tone showcases a love for gardening.
VERDICT A great choice for young readers looking to become involved in creating their own garden.
