(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott. A simple rhyme introduces young readers to gardening, with special attention paid to where vegetables grow relative to the ground ("Corn grows up. / Carrots grow down. / Cucumbers climb around and around"). The glorious illustrations star two kids, a father figure, and cheerful bugs, birds, and critters, some of which partake in the end-of-book vegetable-based feast.
