Award-winning, Wellington-based children's author Janice Marriott has packed this compact, 64- page book with information and fascinating facts. Sounds heavy, but it's all presented in such an entertaining way that kids don't suspect they're learning they just know they're having fun! In the pages of this book kids can pick up vital scientific facts (such as the roles played by photosynthesis and chlorophyll), but they can also take part in plenty of activities, puzzles and games.
The first part of the book covers gardening basics such as soil, sunlight, water, garden mix, seeds and weeds. The second section explores the world of food plants and, as well as teaching children how to grow their own food, shows them how totally dependent we are on plants to feed ourselves.
Every information-filled page is illustrated with colourful drawings. Jokes, games, puzzles and experiments are dotted throughout the pages. But, most importantly, this book underlines the inter-relationship between human beings and Nature and, in these days when so many children think that food comes only from supermarket shelves, takes kids back to the basics of life.
