Six friends work together to grow potatoes, carrots, beans, and other crops in their garden. The deep color photos of the children at work are evocative (if not instructive), and while the instructions are too vague to act as a gardening guide (the hand-and-foot layout measurements for the rows are confusing), the first-person descriptions of the work will appeal to budding gardeners. A recipe is included.

PS
Tilda likes to grow sunflowers. Starting with seeds bought at the store, she plants and tends them until they are much taller than she. The largest flower is harvested for seeds to keep for next spring. Large, clear photographs illustrate the simple story of a girl who looks about five. While the oversized book is handsome, some of the line breaks are awkward. Detailed growing instructions are appended.
