In the Garden with Dr. Carver

32 pp. | Whitman | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-3630-8 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nicole Tadgell. Young narrator Sally describes how George Washington Carver came to her school to help cultivate the children's garden. The somewhat sentimental invented-dialogue text touches on botany and the scientific method in an accessible way. Bucolic watercolor illustrations show smiling children who are thrilled--and, incidentally, too clean--to be working in the garden. A short author's note is appended.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
