I really enjoyed this book. I must have ordered it into the library at some point. The author is May Ann Hoberman who wrote "Seven Silly Eaters" which our 5 year old loves. I must source some more of her books.
The pictures were real and in great detail. Plants were recognisable. It's a story about whom a garden really belongs to? The gardener, the plants, the worms...................? We discover how much of a garden depends on the interconnected relationships between animals, plants, insects and humans. Each page had a new form of life briefly asserting why the garden belonged to them.
Each page the kids nodded in agreement. By the end, we had a lovely discussion about whom a garden really belongs to. I enjoyed the thoughts the short sentences provoked. Something to mull over.
