5.0 out of 5 stars It's Not Quite Seuss, But It's Not Bad, June 6, 2003

By	Gregory J. Nelson (Plano, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Joining the ranks of characters who live on long after their creators has passed away, it's The Cat in the Hat!

Here, you get to see the cat, Thing 1 and Thing 2, and the two kids as they explore the basics of flowering plants. The prose is at an appropriate level for kids who like the longer Dr. Seuss books. The illustrations (by Aristides Ruiz) are so close to the original that I couldn't tell the difference.

The only minor quibble is that the words don't flow QUITE as well as Theodore Geisel's words. Then again, few writer's words do. Also, Ms. Worth is faced with trying to teach a subject and entertain at the same time. At that task, she succeeds admirably.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grandson loves this book!, January 4, 2010

Our grandson is really interested in flowers and gardening and thought this book would be of interest to him. He just LOVES it and enjoys reading it to his younger brother. Of course there are words he needs help with but he is only 6 but reads at a 3rd grade level, so this was a perfect choice!

Nothing is more enjoyable to a Grandma than giving a gift that a child can not only enjoy but learn from at the same time. Two thumbs up on this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gardening with kids, May 22, 2009

By	Olwin "Dewey" (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews

We visit British Columbia every summer for our grandson's birthday. He'll be eight in July, and I'm taking this book for one of his gifts. Gardening is one of my passions, and I hope he'll learn the joy it can bring. This little book is loaded with helpful information - I learned a few things myself!
