Title: Up, Down, and Around
Description: "This cheerful story is a pleasant introduction to planting and prepositions. When two children help plant a garden, they learn that some vegetables grow underground, some shoot up above it, and some grow on vines that twine around and around... The rhyming text is simple, but the words are well chosen... Children will enjoy finding various insects on each page and talking about the roles they play in a garden. A good choice for introducing how things grow. review From School Library Journal
