Always, I am on the look out for more things to incorporate into my Tot School. You want things to be fun, and not overly scholastic, but ideas that are provided from others is always a big help. This new Charles Ghigna book is right up my alley with Little Seeds! What a fantastic way to introduce my child to gardening. Not only is this book filled with poetry and words and phrases that will be great for early reading, but also vivid and entertaining illustrations. Then when you think you’re already greatly pleased with the book, you flip the page to find that there are directions and tot activity included as well!

I love it! This is definitely one that I’ll need to recommend to all my friends doing Tot School.

    Thank you! See what you started? 😉 Here’s today’s review from Publishers Weekly:

    Little Seeds
    Charles Ghigna, illus. by Ag Jatkowska. Capstone/Picture Window, $6.95 (24p) ISBN 978-1-4048-7226-4
    In a cheery book for toddlers—one of four titles launching the My Little Planet series—three children welcome spring by planting a seed. “This small hole is all I need./ Now some water./ Now some sun./ Planting seeds is so much fun!” Every natural and inanimate object seems to come alive in Jatkowska’s joyful pictures, as the trio nurtures the little plant. The chipper verse and bright palette offer an enthusiastic endorsement of the joys and small miracles to be found outdoors. Simultaneously available: Pick Up the Park, Recycling Is Fun, and We Need Water. Ages 2–4.
