This is just a quick recommendation for a kids book about gardening. DH has been away this week and so unusually I got to do the bedtime story with Emma (while Sophie dismantled Emma's train track, much to the formers joy & the latters ire!). Last night we read "Eddie's Garden, and how to make things grow" by Sarah Garland. It's an absolutely WONDERFUL book for inspiring kids and adults alike into growing your own veg, and it even has an instruction section in the back telling you the basics about how to grow the veg shown in the wonderful illustrations. I found it on Amazon, and here is a link to the sample bit, so you can get an idea what it's like. I particularly like Eddie's little sister Lily, who always pipes up with "me too" or "worms for me" and other toddler phrases.
