(3) K-3 A boy enters his backyard garden. His first-person narrative invites readers to join him, sit still, listen, and observe. We soon hear the animals talking and learn how the garden feeds an assortment of creatures, including the quiet little boy. Vivid colors against white backgrounds enhance this simple, childlike appreciation of nature. Instructions for creating a garden follow the story.
