About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
SARAH GARLAND is a much-loved author and illustrator who has published more than 50 books. The daughter of a publisher and illustrator, she trained as a typographer at the London College of Printing. Her books for Frances Lincoln include the favourite preschool Going and Doing series, the bestselling Eddie series and Azzi in Between, which was winner of the first Little Rebels Book Award in 2013 and was also chosen as an IBBY Honour Book and as an Outstanding International Book by USBBY. Sarah and her husband, the artist David Garland, have four children and five grandchildren, and live in Gloucestershire.
PreSchool-Grade 2–Eddie and his mother ("assisted" by baby sister Lily and applauded by Grandad) plant a veggie garden. Their hard work is recorded in the brief text, and delightfully displayed in the soft watercolors (one appealing illustration shows the siblings sitting inside a "bean den"–long sticks tied together at the top and covered with vines). The family's horticultural efforts (including a late-night slug hunt) are rewarded by a bumper crop, and the ensuing picnic stars peas, carrots, corn, and lettuce (and a pie made from Lily's pumpkin). Novice gardeners will find instructions for growing Eddie's plants, along with other pertinent information on soil, seeds, container gardening, and possible pests, at the back of the book. A wonderful supplement to gems such as Lois Ehlert's Growing Vegetable Soup (Harcourt, 1987), Rosalind Creasy's Blue Potatoes, Orange Tomatoes (Sierra Club, 1997), and Michael Rosen's stunning Down to Earth (Harcourt, 1998), Garland's offering will inspire young children to ask for a bit of earth (or a couple of pots) to try out their green thumbs.–Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
