Customer Reviews

WE LOVE THIS BOOK!!

I wish I could give it more then 5 stars. We just love this book. The pictures are beautiful, simple yet detailed. You could read it over and over and still see something new each time. The story is also very entertaining plus there are some really neat project ideas and instructions within the story. We have some of the board books by Gerda Muller but my two year old really prefers this book. That's saying a lot because most books are nothing more to him then an opportunity to make confetti. Needless to say I supervise him a lot when he's looking through it but I have never seen him so quietly engrossed, and so gentle with any other book.

Wonderful!

My four year old son went out to our garden to start planting seeds as soon as we finished reading it the first time. And the second time. He still likes reading it and so do I.
