A great book for all ages

This book is intended for children but I have used it as a wonderful reference for years. Well written and informative. Good basic knowledge.

a delightful gardning book for beginners of any age

I just finished this book, which I checked out from my local library. Whenever I want to learn more about a new subject I like to start in the children's section to get a basic understanding. This book was wonderful. The author knows how to talk to kids in a way that is easy to understand but not condescending. She explains the basics of gardening from soil and seed to harvesting what you have grown. she also includes explanations of basic ecology: the water cycle, how soil is made, which plants replace nitrogen, etc... She poses questions to encourage curious young gardeners to experiment on their own as well. She even presents less scientific information about gardening according to the moon and zodiac signs! In all it was a very informative book that makes me feel ready to tackle starting my own garden, and maybe even doing my own composting. I was hoping that this book had a more recent edition, but I guess I will have to hunt around for my own copy. This one needs to get back to the library!
