5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it!, April 24, 2006

This review is from: I Saw It in the Garden (Hardcover)

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.

Martin Brennan, author of I Saw It in the Garden, shares the wonder of a springtime garden as it comes to life with plants and is visited by other interesting creatures. Grandpa shares the magic of a garden with his granddaughter. His wise words, "there are wondrous things to see if only you look!" is so true.

I Saw It in the Garden is a delightful story of two generations sharing the spring, summer and fall in the garden. It's also fun and educational and the illustrations are luscious; the colors are stunning and the pictures are some of the most beautiful and inviting that I've seen in a children's book in the past several years.

Armchair Interviews says: The story is fun and interesting but the vivid illustrations are so inviting, you'd like to frame them.

5.0 out of 5 stars A creative and entertaining tale of a girl and her grandfather's garden, July 11, 2006

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Saw It in the Garden (Hardcover)

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.
