Review: This is a good example of realistic fiction because this could be a day or a period of time a child spends with someone they love or who is important to them. This little boy spends time with his grandfather around the garden, helping his grandfather and being pushed around in a wheel barrow.
A young boy and his grandfather spend time together in their garden, and the boy gets to ride in the wheelbarrow, saying "bumpety bump" with his grandfather as he rides.
A young boy helps his grandpa around the farm. He digs up potatoes, onions and carrots. He picks the beans, tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers. Berries too. All the while a little hen is following them. At the end of the day they follow the hen and watch her lay an egg.
A boy and his grandpa gather delicious fruits and vegetables from their farm yard as they bump around in the wagon and the little red hen follows them around and gives an egg at the end.

2 to 5 years old
The words are not that helpful when describing how to plant and pick produce, but the pictures to demonstrate this process. Ages: 3-7.
Little boy rides in his grandpa's wheelbarrow and shows the hen that is following them around all the things that he can do. The hen in turn, shows him what she can do by laying an egg.
The book There's Only One of Me is a fun book for kids about celebrating what makes each of us special. With bright pictures and a simple story, it shows how everyone is unique and important. It's a great read for little ones who are learning about themselves and others.Best suited for children ages 3-8
