I thought this little book was a very intriguing read. I really like growing our own things to eat but I always just bought seedlings from the nursery. I never thought of using the seeds from the produce I've bought at the market.I really like the way each piece of produce is described as far as health benefits to its scientific family, how to prepare them for regrowth and what to expect.I don't think many people like myself realized how easy it is to regrow romaine lettuce and even celery from its base! I think that is so cool.Also, each step is described so nicely in such a simple way there's no way anyone can be confused by the authors directions.I think this book is also really great for families to teach children about sustainability, biology and appreciating the foods they eat. I think it would be five stars for me if it was longer to include more types of re-growable items, pictures or illustrations of each item at each phase of growth and how to perpetually maintain the plants in each climate zone or more expanded info on propagating fruits from indoor plants such as a orange tree.Overall though, for those who love to grow things, the concept of this book is really cool. I'm definitely going to try to grow some of these fruits & veggies with the help of my kiddos
