Garden to table for kids!

"Come out to the garden Miss Mary Louise.
Come help me... pick turnips and peas."

Written as a whimsical rhyming poem, Granny tries to get Mary Louise to come out and help her in the garden. This is a wonderful book to read with children to introduce them to the fun of gardening.  Filled with colored pencil sketches and Granny's favorite vegetables, it is also a good way to learn different vegetables.

Written with heartfelt passion, a wonderful book to read with kids.

As an animal lover, this book was very difficult for me to read and I had to put it down several times because I started to cry. 

This is the story of Delta, the Dancing Elephant told from her point of view.  While Delta is a fictional elephant, the tragedies of her story are all too real.  Delta's story takes you from the 1930's to the 1990's.  Through her story you not only see the reality of how poorly some performing animals were treated, but the human cultural revolution through her eyes.

It was obvious that much research into elephant behavior was done for this book, hopefully it will help people see the importance of elephants and their habitat.

Also, as the book suggests this is best intended for 7th grade readers and up.
