Book Overview
Anna and Benjamin's family has just moved into their dream house and even though it's in the middle of a busy town, it has a beautiful big garden for them all to enjoy. Soon the family has made plans for their perfect garden -- Mum wants a lawn and a terrace, Dad wants to help the birds and insects, Benjamin wants to plant beautiful flowers and Anna wants to fill the garden with tasty vegetables. Join Anna and Benjamin as, with a little help from their neighbour, they spend a year learning about all the wonderful things you can do in a garden; planting, harvesting, playing, enjoying picnics and spotting wildlife. Alongside the charming story, A Year in Our New Garden also gives real gardening tips and provides recipes for tasty home-grown snacks to inspire children to get outdoors, be active and learn how nature changes around them throughout the year. This beautifully detailed, seasonal story is a perfect companion to Gerda Muller's A Year Around the Great Oak and How Does My Garden Grow?

WE LOVE THIS BOOK!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I wish I could give it more then 5 stars. We just love this book. The pictures are beautiful, simple yet detailed. You could read it over and over and still see something new each time. The story is also very entertaining plus there are some really neat project ideas and instructions within the story. We have some of the board books by Gerda Muller but my two year old really prefers this book. That's saying a lot because most books are nothing more to him then an opportunity to make confetti. Needless to say I supervise him a lot when he's looking through it but I have never seen him so quietly engrossed, and so gentle with any other book.
Wonderful!

My four year old son went out to our garden to start planting seeds as soon as we finished reading it the first time. And the second time. He still likes reading it and so do I.
