Sow and Grow: A Gardening Book for Children

Stewart, Tabori and Chang, 2008. Encuadernación de tapa dura. Bien. Texto en inglés. Tapa dura de editorial ilustrada. Como nuevo. Kids are captivated by growing things. They're fascinated by the way a seed, when planted, watered, and cared for, sprouts into a baby plant that's soon putting out its first roots and leaves. Inspired by children's innate affinity for gardening, Tina Davis has createdSow and Growa year's worth of playtime ideas that combine fun and learning with a child's sense of wonder at the natural world. In this, the third in her enchantingly designed series of children's books, Davis has devised a calendar of indoor-gardening and related activities, all linked to seasonal celebrations and changes: For April, she suggests planting tiny spring gardens in eggshells. For September, pressing late-summer flowers and autumn leaves. For December, decorating the house with living greenery. Each activity is described in child-friendly languageand parents are invited to participate! Sow and Growalso acquaints children with the basics of plant biology, teaching them the meanings of words like 'fruit' and 'flower' and explaining the roles of light, air, and water in plants' development. Like Davis's other books,Sow and Growis illustrated with charming vintage drawings from children's books of the past. Its lay-flat wire-o binding makes it easy to refer to during use.
