Jane Yolen and Mark Teague have teamed up to create a real charmer for kids and families, and award-winning illustrator Diane Goode offers a new twist on an old Hans Christian Anderson tale. Green-thumbed kids can grow schoolyard gardens, victory gardens, salsa gardens, and more. To improve your recipe, mix in a couple of new picture books told from two very different perspectives. Add to that more than a dozen hands-on activities, and you have a perfect lesson planning resource too. Brief passages of text tell the basic facts, while a liberal sprinkling of sidebars and illustrations fills in the details.
Equal time is given to the scientific genius and the compassionate teacher and family man.
