How Groundhog's Garden Grew

Rating:
Summary: A warm picturebook tale of animal friends
Review: Lynne Cherry's How Groundhogs Garden Grew may require parental assistance but kids with some prior picturebook skills will relish this story of a little groundhog who loves to eat the vegetables in his neighbor's garden. The cycle of a gardening year is told within the structure of a warm picturebook tale of animal friends, and the drawings are especially engaging.

Summary: Great way to get kids interested in gardening
Review: My three year old and I are planning a garden and this book has been an excellent companion to the process. Cherry does a great job of explaining how to create a garden through this story. In it Squirrel teaches Groundhog how to grow his own vegetables so he has things to eat. Cherry also includes a note to parents at the end that gives website information for more on gardening with children.

Review: This is a wonderful book, bound to be a classic. Would appeal to any children, but especially those involved in starting a vegetable garden.
