a gardening book for a five year old
Hello, my grandaughter, just five, has also just moved into her first house with a garden. Could anyone recommend an exciting, imaginative book on plants/wildlife/insects that will set a young person onto a gardening path of discovery and enjoyment. Many thanks in anticipation. jay jay

Many thanks in anticipation. jay jay I don't know what Ladybird Books are doing these days, but it might be worth checking (maybe on the Web): they can vary from pretty good to appalling. It's always tricky, though, as many books which look great for children through adult eyes don't seem to appeal in the same way to children themselves (I found this, for example, with some Dorling Kindersley publications). Making a book together with a child can be very rewarding for both: you stick in your own photos and cut-out pictures from magazines and newspapers, and compose the text yourselves. -- Mike. |

A good place to start looking is at the local library as they usually hold a
very good range of infant/junior books to help with school projects. Schools usually study the gardening and wildlife projects during the summer term so there should be a good range for viewing now. You should also give her some seeds to get her started. Steph Power "jay jay" wrote in message ... Hello, my grandaughter, just five, has also just moved into her first house with a garden.
