Language Development/Speaking & Communicating develops increasing abilities to understand and use language to communicate informations, experiences, ideas, feelingsw, opinions, needs, questions, and for other varied purposes. (Where are the girl and her father going with the flowers, what are they going to do? Why are they lighting candles? Whose birthday do you think it is? What time of year is this story taking place?) Reading the StoryĪs you read the story, ask who, what, where, when, and why questions. Science/Scientific Knowledge expands knowledge of and abilities to observe, describe, and discuss the natural world, materials, living things, and natural processes. In that case, talk about if they have ever seen a flower garden? Did you like it? What did you like/not like about it? Where did you see the garden? Ask them if they have ever helped plant a garden before? Where do you get the plants? What did you have to do to make the garden? What do you have to do to take care of the garden? If you live in the city, this might be more difficult for the children to answer.
It is inspiration to those who live in the city and a reminder of the joy that plants bring to people everywhere. This is a wonderful book about spring and a little girls gift to her mother.

Hewitt's intimate, oil paintings gain power through imaginative use of perspective and clean simplicity. Without contrivance or strain, Bunting's verse evokes the universal yet unexpected felicity of blooming color, and the author throws in a happy surprise at the end: the ``garden box'' is a birthday present for the girl's mother. On a spring day in an urban neighborhood, a girl and her father visit the supermarket: ``Garden in a shopping cart / Doesn't it look great? / Garden on the checkout stand / I can hardly wait.'' The youngster's anticipation grows as the duo travels home-walking down the street, riding the bus, climbing the apartment house stairs-all the while guarding their flowers. A plot about creating a windowbox garden scarcely portends the appeal of this lyrical, ebullient book.
