—Tiny Beans
Well tuned to cultivate a deeper appreciation for both poetry and the pleasures and rewards of planting.

A bevy of delightful poems on every imaginable aspect of school gardening… The illustrator obviously absorbed each poem, because the pictures range from humorous to accurate biological renderings to lovely. Wolf has provided a teaching suggestion for each of the poems at the end of the book.

This story-in-verse of a school garden from beginning to delicious end captures the joy of growth and creation.
