Spring has returned to Minnesota and the trees are budding and the flowers are beginning to peek through the soil. Everything looks new, fresh and oh so wonderful! I'm always in awe of the rebirth. Martin Brennan, author of I Saw It in the Garden, shares the wonder of a springtime garden as it comes to life with plants and is visited by other interesting creatures. Grandpa shares the magic of a garden with his granddaughter. His wise words, "there are wondrous things to see if only you look!" is so true. I Saw It in the Garden is a delightful story of two generations sharing the spring, summer and fall in the garden. It's also fun and educational and the illustrations are luscious; the colors are stunning and the pictures are some of the most beautiful and inviting that I've seen in a children's book in the past several years. Armchair Interviews says: The story is fun and interesting but the vivid illustrations are so inviting, you'd like to frame them.
