Imaginative gardener :)

This is my favorite book to use for a “garden theme” Story Hour. I first show them a tray with all the garden items in this book (old key, jelly beans, seashells, etc.). I tell them to watch for these items in the story. Afterwards, we play memory with the items. I look forward to this all year, such a great book!
