The watching, listening little boy and Aliki's charming illustrations encourage the young child to revel in his or her own quiet,
This review is from: Quiet in the Garden (Hardcover)
The garden is a beautiful place where the wide-eyed boy love to play in. There were birds, flowers, little vegetable plots, a place to read, a little fish pond with a koi fish swimming around and even a bunny hiding behind a flower pot. It was a magical place to be. If he is quiet, he can hear and see many more things.
"I am so quiet, I even hear sound around me- chirp, squeak, crunch. I can almost hear a butterfly flutter by. I sit and listen." A robin flew down to snatch berries from a bush. A snail chomp, chomped away at leaves. A butterfly flitted around the flowers. The little boy saw it all. Worms and bug squiggled along the ground and the wide-eyed squirrel crunched his nuts and saw them. The little boy was watching and listening and saw many interesting things when he was quiet in the garden. What kinds of things do you hear and see when you are quiet? The watching, listening little boy and Aliki's charming illustrations encourage the young child to revel in his or her own quiet time. An illustrated page in the back encourages children to make their own "quiet" gardens. This is a perfect quiet/circle time book to read and discuss. Oops . . . do I hear something?

A wonderful read for little ones who are fascinated by nature,
This review is from: Quiet in the Garden (Hardcover)
"Quiet in the Garden" is one of those soothing reads that lulls both parent and child into a quiet state of reflection. The story centers around a little boy who likes going out into the garden and observing the nature around him. The illustrations by author Aliki are gorgeous, awash in vivid colors, and portraying the garden in all its resplendent glory - there's even a little lesson on what the different animals and insects eat tucked into each picture.The last page contains some handy tips for little ones interested in cultivating their own 'quiet' garden. Recommended for preschoolers-2nd grade.
