In Our Backyard Garden

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Marcy Ramsey. Both the daily and the momentous events in family members' lives (e.g., raking leaves, the birth of a baby, a wedding) are celebrated in this group of poems about a backyard with a bountiful garden. Taken separately, some poems are trite, but as a whole, they are whimsical and comforting. Conventional, mildly comic watercolor illustrations accompany the verse.
