Editorial Reviews
Text joins with very accurate color drawings to make the book an effective motivator for young readers ... A useful introductory, yet surprisingly comprehensive, little book for the young home gardener.
Science Books and Films
[A] handsome, inexpensive title ... Drawings are done with such accuracy and attention to detail that the reader can identify particular plants even without the captions.
Kirkus Reviews
The series encourages children to become close observers of nature and also provides step-by-step experiments and activities to perform. Hickman has done a good job of finding interesting tidbits of information and making comparisons. The type is large, and the colorful drawings are attractive.
