Dont Buy From Amazon!  
This book came bent by Amazon and there is no phone number to contact for returns. I did not have a printer attched to my computer so when I went through their online return process it said to print out a return label, I could not do that and so there was no one to contact and no way to return the book. DONT BUY FROM AMAZON!!!!

Good book on gardening life cycle  
This small board book is simply and beautifully illustrated in bright flat colors. Usually the illustrations are very understandable and clear, but occasionally the color contrast between the object and the background is poor making the object disappear into the background. The main text is in large bold print and simple language; however, the labels for each object are in very small print, making them difficult for my older eyes to read. My 3 year old enjoys the book. Its a beautiful book and I would buy it again; however, I would check out some of the larger formats of the book first.

Excellent book  
As a teacher, I have always loved this book. The bold colors hold children's attention, and it fits well with lessons for younger children on what seeds/plants need to grow, the growing process and includes a recipe for making your own vegetable soup. For early childhood teachers,it can become an early science/social studies/math lesson and also a parent/child activity. A must have!

Good lesson for little children  
As well as being attractive and quite an easy read (my five year old managed it), it encourages children to be interested in vegetables-both growing and eating them. Great book.

Good Book for Small Children - a review of Growing Veg. Soup  
This book has gotten good reviews by others but I am a little less enthusiastic about it.

Certainly I love the concept of teaching about gardening and how food makes it's way from the soil to our plates; but the artwork, I think, gets in the way of making this a superior 5-Star text.

For example, the abstract art [bold and attractive] is okay for demonstrating seeds sitting in the soil, but it is not very good for actually showing what a squash blossom looks like. For all you can tell, it's a open tulip on a vine. Likewise the corn is shown as being orange instead of yellow.

Four Stars. This book gives children an idea of how food goes from the ground to the bowl, but if you are looking for a book that will give your young child an accurate picture of what growing veggies look like, you'll have to keep searching.
