This is really a beautiful book, and if it had had something to say about gardening I would probably have kept it. (

Beautiful, bold woodcut-style artwork illustrating a garden concept for each letter of the alphabet. Some of them will raise a laugh -- wait until you see the gardener's face as she lugs the zucchini! (

This is an alphabet book in which each letter of the alphabet is given with a gardening-related word. For example, a is for arbor, b is for bulbs, c is for compost, etc. There is no story and some of the words are tricky, so this would be more of a lapsit read-aloud than an independent reading or storytime book. However, the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous so this book is worth sharing for that reason alone. Families that enjoy gardening or visiting gardens will particularly like this one. (

This book discusses all different kinds of words that relate to both gardening and to the alphabet. (

Azarian made a content book by naming actions and objects to each letter of the alphabet.

Book description

Goes through the various gardening vocal, but what it does really well is the illustrations. The pictures tell more than the words. If I were to use this in a high school, I would use it in a an art class and have them study the motion and the meaning of the pictures in relationship to what the goal of the book is.
