Introduce children to the healthy, hearty vegetables that will help
them grow up big and strong. Young readers will enjoy exploring the
secrets of the garden - from onions (they make your eyes water!) to
artichokes (we eat the flower, not the leaves or the fruit!).
They'll learn where and how different types of vegetables grow -
including carrots, courgettes, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers,
cucumber, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, and many more. This title
is part of the My First Discovery paperback series - a unique
collection of beautifully illustrated information books for
children aged 4 to 7, with simple language to aid learning and
realistic artwork to inspire young minds. There are 8 transparent
overlay pages, which reveal hidden surprises and make the pages
come alive. With free access to a brand new audio app, children can
listen and read along at their own pace, page by page.
To respect environment in the broad sense, we must first develop a
respect for our own environment - the living world of plants and
small wildlife that surrounds us in our homes and gardens. Growing
plants is one of the most fundamental ways in which we can
introduce our children to the wonder and magic of the natural
environment. It is also one of the most accessible, as all
children, regardless of financial, geographical or social
circumstances, can try their hand at it - even if their gardening
efforts are limited to nurturing a few tomato seeds in a tin on the
window sill. In Gardening is fun, will encourage young - and old -
to explore the pleasures of gardening. The message is, conveyed by
means of simple text and lively, colourful illustrations, is that
gardening can be fun, easy and inexpensive - and that you certainly
do not need a large garden to enjoy the benefits. The title abounds
with practical suggestions on how to grow plants, interspersed with
down-to-earth ecological information aimed at fostering an
environmentally-friendly approach to gardening. The content
includes, among others, chapters on: Garden habitats; hints for
green-finger gardening; growing vegetables; your garden - a
wildlife sanctuary; managing problems.
