A sweet, lyrical introduction to gardening, The Little Gardener is best-suited to very young children. The board book introduces gardening implements, as well as seed-planting, composting, weeding and watering. It also touches on pollination and saving seeds to plant the following year as a young girl plants and tends a pretty flower and vegetable garden.

The Little Composter is a book that teaches young children how to make compost for plants. On each page, the book depicts a fruit or a vegetable. The pages in the book are flip pages, you flip the tab up and see that the fruit or vegetable has been eaten. At the end of the book, the little boy places the leftovers from the fruit or vegetables, such as the rinds or peels, in a bowl. He mixes everything together and creates a compost. This book can be used in class when teaching about plant life.

This book is cute. It shows children what they can put into a compost to help their gardens grow nicely. It goes through the alphabet and teaches kid the simple things they can use. It is a flip book that shows how one object can be used and how to use it.

This story was about a big rabbit and a little rabbit hoping over things. The big rabbit can hop over things but the little rabbit trys to hop over things but instead he hits the things. At the end of the story the big rabbit hops over the stump and the little rabbit decides to hop around the stump. This story teaches children that if you try to do things and it ends up being the wrong way then the best thing to do is to try a different method of doing things.
