NOT A CHILDREN'S BOOK. Intended for adult readers, this book provides several examples to make gardening visually interesting to encourage children's participation. Suggested gardens include some shaped like pizzas, waffles, mazes and others made into sunflower houses, giant gardens, or moon gardens.

There are always stories behind everyday objects, especially those that hold a special value. If Laura's good enough getting to bed, her father will tell her the story of the star blanket that he once held dear to him. This picture book intends to celebrate family history and storytelling but falls short. The story feels too important to the author, getting lost in mundane details and plot movement.

Wouldn't ya know, animals wear underpants, too! Perfect illustrations for a younger age group but for such few words, I was disappointed by what some animals wore. Why does the kangaroo's underwear have fleas? Instead of the hippo having multiple pockets, couldn't the kangaroo? And why is the frog jogging? It is evident that the author thought of some cute concepts (which are cute) and threw in others just to rhyme.
A great idea but the book falters in areas where it would have been easy to correct.

Family: Older brother, younger sister
The story seemed choppy while introducing too many parts of the story. However, the artwork and plot about magic was still fun.

A book better suited for early childhood teachers and librarians than parents due to the amount of information on one specific topic. A lot of great quotes, research, and support for TALKING to children that I will be able to use in my library programs.
Age: 3rd-5th grade
A longer nonfiction book for older children experiencing divorce between their parents. It's always great to have a book written by children on such a personal subject. If a child is having a hard time trusting adults, this would be a great book to turn to. Written in an interview format, kids can browse to questions that most pertain to them.
Two downfalls may be that it is visually drab (text, pictures, and graphics only in black, white, and gray) and text heavy.
