The Children's Garden: Growing Food in the City

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Pierr Morgan. Based on an actual garden started by Tilth Alliance in Seattle (per the author's note), this fictional story follows a neighborhood garden tended by children, from tilling to harvesting. Best are the children's comments about the experience: "Look at the shape of this funny tomato"; "Smell the peppermint I grew. Rub it between your fingers." Pleasant, sunny illustrations of the garden's development add interest.
