Each page has full-color photographs that go with the story and also highlights useful words. Text is shown in traditional Chinese characters, Mandarin pin yin, simplified Chinese characters, and English.

These audio files are designed for older readers, such as adults, to read alongside early readers as young as from birth. Use the following tips to maximize the use of each book and make them family favorites. For newborns (0-6 months old): Instead of reading the text on the whole page, just point to the object that is on the page or a certain word that describes the object on the page. For preverbal, babbling stage (6-12 months old): Continue to use the objects on the page. Try reading the whole sentence aloud and see how your child responds. For toddlers (12 months-36 months): The older your child gets, the more you can start bringing more attention to the actual words on the page. You will be surprised at how well your child fares with whole word recognition. For preschool and kindergarten: You can definitely start teaching spelling of the English words and how to even write some of the Chinese characters with their developing fine motor skills.

Children from 6 to 9 years old are the target readership for this homegrown book about vegetable gardening. They will learn about planning a garden, types of soil and preparation, planting, pruning and most importantly harvesting, and enjoying their own, healthy vegetables, herbs and salad. Also included are craft projects linked to gardening and easy recipes using the fresh produce they have grown. This is a great way to get kids off the couch and into the garden, and a great way to learn about nature, ecology, and healthy living. Divided in two parts, part one teaches them how to prepare the soil, sow the seeds and care for their plants. It also covers recycling, the seasons, insects and birds in the garden and the cycles of natural life. The second part will encourage children to delight in eating their harvest. Each vegetable is shown on a double page spread, combining information with beautiful photographs, illustrations, and simple recipes. Growing their own vegetables will make children proud to be self-sufficient, even in this small way. They will want to try new vegetables and tastes when they’ve been involved in the planting and have watched their vegetables grow!
