Saturday March 21, 2009
Picture Book Cover Art – The Carrot Seed Our daffodils are in bloom, and it's been warm enough lately for us to work in our garden. Introduce your children to the joys of gardening with children's picture books about gardens and gardening. There are a lot of excellent children's picture books about gardens and gardening, including books set in the city, in the suburbs and in rural areas. My Top 10 booklist includes books for children ranging in age from two- to ten-years-old. These picture books emphasize the joys of planting seeds and bulbs, cultivating a garden, and enjoying the flowers and vegetables that result.
