Our Community Garden (Hardcover)

In this special garden, each child plants an item that reflects their personality and/or ethnic heritage. Barbara Pollak's delightful illustrations show what the children do there - from playing hide-and-seek around giant sunflowers and counting ladybugs to weeding, digging, and making compost mazes.

The garden provides a venue for all the children and their families to gather and celebrate with a potluck of dishes made from the garden's harvest. Readers will enjoy following the progress of the garden and will be inspired to start one of their own.

• Pollak's quirky, vibrant artwork adds pizzazz to this straightforward story....If the characters' enjoyment in gardening doesn't convince some youngsters to try raising plants themselves, the splendid feast at the end may at least encourage them to taste some unfamiliar vegetable dishes.
