Description

Perfect for spring planting season–an outstanding book about backyard science the whole circle of relatives will appreciate.

Alice’s circle of relatives plants a vegetable garden every spring, and this budding naturalist reports all she sees about how the plants grow, what insects come to eat the plants, and what birds and animals come to eat the insects.  It is the food chain, right in her own backyard!

While Alice’s narrative is simple and engaging, science concepts are presented in more depth in sidebars by a pair of very knowledgeable (and highly amusing) chickens! Noted science creator Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld knows layer information to make it accessible to a variety of readers and useful for educators. And illustrator Priscilla Lamont’s funny, friendly paintings make this a garden everyone will need to explore.

Kids will eat up this wonderful book of backyard science—and most likely they are going to even be inspired to eat their vegetables!

“A wonderfully informative and enjoyable journey through one circle of relatives’s backyard garden, from spring planting to fall harvest. . . . that is bound to spark some backyard explorations.” —Kirkus, Starred Review
