5.0 out of 5 starsA fresh look at the cycle of the seasons
By waldorf_curric VINE VOICE on August 11, 2005
Format: Hardcover
Don't I just love that I have a nephew named Joe whose grandmother is called Gram! I can't wait to give this book to them as a gift along with a set of child's gardening tools. This book is a heartwarming tale for any child to read, however, so don't hesitate to ask your librarian for this one. The book carries a young child along with the cycle of planting and growing things in the garden. Every part of the cycle is the time for something, "digging time", "thinking time", "planting time", "weeding time", "resting time", etc. and this message is an especially good one for a child beginning to absorb the unhealthy concept of instant gratification - teach your children that everything happens in its own good time and to enjoy ALL parts of the cycle. In terms of gift giving, this is a good book for the winter holidays since it shows that the cycle of growing begins in the winter, not in the spring, as the earth rests and renews itself in preparation. The illustrations are joyous although they might be a little to loosely painted for some; we all have our own tastes in this regard. I loved this book and can't wait to read it each winter to remind my daughter of all the riches hiding in the earth down under the snow, waiting, waiting to be set free in the springtime...

5.0 out of 5 starsHow does your garden grow?
By Richard and Liz TOP 500 REVIEWER on June 4, 2014
Format: Paperback
Meet Gram and Joe. Gram is the gardener and Joe is her "helper." When in winter, Gram turns the garden over, Joe digs too making a hole for "squelching in."

In Spring when Gram plants her seeds in nice neat rows, Joe throws his seeds everywhere. Watch this duo as the seasons progress and experience with them the joy of the harvest.

This is a wonderful book for sharing with young children how each season is important in the life of a garden and the gardener. EXCELLENT!

5.0 out of 5 starsAnd the sweet and wonderful story...
By A. Williams on May 1, 2011
Format: Paperback
What a sweetly simple story about the transformation of a plot of "good brown earth" to a full fledged garden!

I love how Gram takes Joe with her to her garden spot and shows him what goes into the growing of a garden. Joe is even given a bit of land to grow his own garden (the results are wonderful!).

There's nothing overly specific, technical or scientific here, but in a way that's what makes it so wonderful, and for children who aren't familiar with how plants grow, it's a great introduction.

We visit the garden in various stages and seasons and the illustrations are so delightful and they not only illustrated the story but added to it as well.

Definitely recommended!
