Synopsis
Come to the garden that Jack planted
You'll see seeds and seedlings, buds and leaves, birds and bugs and butterflies. And best of all, you'll watch the garden bloom.
"Building on a rhyme that will be familiar to many children, author-illustrator Cole creates an enticing guide to creating a garden. 'This is the garden that Jack planted...' The final illustration presents a satisfied-looking boy surrounded by a lush, bird-filled flower garden. A concluding page of gardening suggestions serves as a springboard to books with more specific guidelines." (Horn Book)
About the Author
Henry Cole is the illustrator of many beloved books for children, including his own Jacks Garden and On Meadowview Street. While growing up in Virginia, he enjoyed spending time outdoors, hiking in the woods, and pretending he was Audubon. Sometimes he pretended he was an osprey. He still loves being outside, especially in his garden in Florida, where he likes to sketch and write.
