5.0 out of 5 stars For Gardening Moms / Dads and their children!!!!! , October 5, 2004

By	KSL "emma-and-me" (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This is a terrific book to introduce your child to gardening and also most have 2 pages to record:
Cloud Watching - the date & the shape of the cloud
Flowerbed Design / seeds planted - the flower, it's color & it's height
Counting in the Garden - number & description
Our Garden Party - the date, guest list, menu, activities and special memories
Creepy Crawling Friends - name / type, date found, place found and room for notes
Colors in the Garden - Color, plant/bird & child's pronounciation
Special Memories

And then sprinkled in between these pages is are 1 page on Rain, Strawberries, Moon & Stars, Sounds, Leaves, and Snow!

I have many precious memories of gardening with my mother planting flowers and asking their names, I love that this book will help me record these special times with my daughter so she too will maybe make her world brighter with flowers, and give her a look into her childhood that she might or might not remember! A must have for any parent who loves to garden and wants to continue this love with their child.
