In this book the family has a nice garden and grows many different kinds of plants, but in ...

Tricycle Press, 2010

A book sure to inspire even the youngest reader to create their own stew!

+ informative and fun

What a unique an engaging book! The illustrations are fascinating and I really loved the rhymes. It's not often that an alphabet book flows along so seamlessly, especially one that tackles such a unique subject. This works well as a read aloud and I think would be even better with one on one ...

Pick, Pull, Snap!: Where Once a Flower Bloomed1 review

Then, half of the page would fold ...
