Eddie's Garden: and How to Make Things Grow

Such a lovely book about a little boy, his mum and baby sister enjoying their back garden and growing fruit and veg. Contains lots of practical information on growing from seed in a format that small children can readly understand. Highly recommended. My 4 year old loves this story, especially the part where the baby sister is curious about earhworms and is about to eat one when Eddie shouts "Not worms, Lily!". Full of simple, touching detail.

An absolutely brilliant book for small children and even adults who don’t know much about gardening! Whilst a story book it keeps to correct facts. Just the job for my budding gardener, six year old, grandson!

I am a teaching assistant in EYFS, we used this story as an adult focus, it encompassed our topic for this term (mini beasts) and also last terms (growth). The kids loved it, especially lily, Eddies little sister. A great book, you must purchase. Plus as growing tips in it too, so covers older kids too.

as described

A delightful book, a story, and also a ' how to do it' book. Fun, and, with the addition of packets of seeds, a welcome gift for a busy young person. beautifully illustrated.

Really lovely book that my 3 year old loved. Inspired us all to start growing plants and really helped my little one understand the process. Beautifully illustrated too! Would recommend!

Bought for a six-year-old boy called Eddie, whose family now have an allotment, as well as their garden in which he grew his own plants, so it's very appropriate. His twin sister and younger brother also enjoy this book, which I have renewed many times from the public library. They particularly laugh at the younger sister's antics (almost eating worms, etc).

This book is just wonderful, my three year old loves it. We have an allotment and he is very keen to get stuck in and help and now, after reading this book, wants to have his own little bit. Really recommend this for toddlers and young children. Beautiful illustrations too.

Highly recommend this book. An enjoyable read, good illustrations and also educational. Very relatable for the kids.

Precioso libro, ilustraciones y texto. Perfectas condiciones!

Sarah Garland is a wonderful storyteller and illustrator. Her work is a joy filled with humor and compassion. All three of my children have grown up with the books.

My daughter (6 years old) loves it! it motivated her to cultivate in our garden, to make her hut made of sticks, to plant a sunflower....to hunt snails...to keep insects close to the garden, etc. As a single mother I like to see books where monoparental families appear

My 4 1/2 year old loves this book. It very basically tells the steps for planting a garden, from buying seeds and earth, to planting and weeding, and finally to eating what you grew. It has wonderfully set the stage planting our own garden.
