Kids can learn all they need to know to grow their own fruit, herbs, and vegetables in whatever space they have at home, whether it be a windowsill or yard. Bright, engaging illustrations and clear instructions make this a great gift for any young child curious about where their food comes from and eager to grow some delectables themselves.

      Grades K-3 Written for the enthusiastic, beginning gardener, this how-to manual offers 16 "growables" that include fruits, vegetables, and flowers that kids will enjoy cultivating. Each of the projects has creative planting options and includes a "You Will Need" list, the appropriate planting season, the length of time until harvest, and the optimal environment for each seed or plant. The text follows each step, from prep to plant to plate (or vase!). Whimsical, colorful illustrations by Sosa create a consistent and accurate layout that begs to be scoured by young readers. Kids will want to take in every detail that leads them to gardening success. The guide is geared toward six- to nine-year-old readers (or younger with adult assistance) and will appeal to those who enjoy books such as Tomek Bogacki's My First Garden (2000) and Joanna Gaines' We Are Gardeners (2019). This guide isn't for young readers who need photographs to help their project process, but it is still a welcome and worthwhile purchase for most libraries.
