This is a book about a girl named Linnea, the book is kind of like Linnea's garden journal because she is telling the reader what she did that day in her garden while explaining how you can plant those things too. It explains how to plant beans, avocado plants and lots more, It also tells you how to get rid of bugs, and it shows you different kinds of common bugs in gardens. This book really shows you that you don't need to have a big backyard to grow lots of plants. I really recomend this book

Linnea enjoyed Monet's garden so much, she decides to plant her own garden....inside... because she doesn't have land to garden outside! Linnea shows the reader her garden and then explains how the young reader can do the same thing. Linnea demonstrates everything the young gardener needs to know about growing a healthy, indoor garden. This book is a bequiling method of enticing children to develop a green thumb. Linnea is always fun and delightful!

This is such a wonderfully fun, informative book that follows Linnea as she learns how to garden from her elderly neighbor, Mr. Bloom. The illustrations are great and the gardening tips are really good - I received this book when I was about 10 years old (many years ago) and I used one of the potted plant tips today! I would say this book is appropriate for children around 8-12.

I wish there were more children's books like this around, that recognize that children are inquisitive and receptive to gentle, fun learning. It's not necessary to be bombarded by silliness and vulgarity all the time.
