Book Overview
Kids are captivated by growing things. They're fascinated by the way a seed, when planted, watered, and cared for, sprouts into a baby plant that's soon putting out its first roots and leaves. Inspired by children's innate affinity for gardening, Tina Davis has created Sow and Grow --a year's worth of playtime ideas that combine fun and learning with a child's sense of wonder at the natural world. In this, the third in her enchantingly designed series of children's books, Davis has devised a calendar of indoor-gardening and related activities, all linked to seasonal celebrations and changes: For April, she suggests planting tiny spring gardens in eggshells. For September, pressing late-summer flowers and autumn leaves. For December, decorating the house with living greenery. Each activity is described in child-friendly language--and parents are invited to participate Sow and Grow also acquaints children with the basics of plant biology, teaching them the meanings of words like "fruit" and "flower" and explaining the roles of light, air, and water in plants' development. Like Davis's other books, Sow and Grow is illustrated with charming vintage drawings from children's books of the past. Its lay-flat wire-o binding makes it easy to refer to during use.

A great learning tool for kids
Published by TRUTHSHARER , 1 year ago
My granddaughter (age 6) and I began reading this together right after it arrived! She loved it! It's very interactive if you want to do some of the projects shown. But we picked a few flowers from my garden and she was able to identify the flower parts as we examined it and referenced the pages and pictures. I quizzed her on things and even though she's only 6 she loved learning from this book. This would make a great homeschooling book for any elementary age children. I highly recommend it!
