And the Good Brown Earth

40 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-2301-6 $$15.99
(3) K-3 Joe and his grandma love to garden: they dig in late fall, think in winter, plant in spring, water in summer, and harvest in fall, all while "the good brown earth got on with doing what the good brown earth does best." Gram works methodically while Joe strews his seeds, but at the end of this lovely paean to nature they each have abundant vegetables depicted with joyful mixed-media art.
