Turn each page to explore the amazing world of these garden wonders through watercolor illustrations that bring nature landscapes filled with seeds, flowers, plants, leaves, and trees to life.

PRESCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN READERS: Poetic in voice and elegant in design, each volume in this unique series of nature books for kids is sure to inspire lively questions and observations from young listeners. Like the best nonfiction books for children, they are equally at home being read to a child on a parent's lap as they are in a classroom reading circle.
