My Book Tie-Ins of the Week:
Jack’s Garden by Henry Cole is built around the old story The House that Jack Built.
Jack starts with a garden soil filled with creatures.
Then he adds seeds to the soil that makes up the garden.
Rain wets the seeds that are in the soil that makes up the garden.
The seeds become seedling and later plants in the soil that makes up the garden.
The plants grow flowers that attract bugs in the soil that makes up Jack’s garden by the end of the book.
Henry Cole’s well label illustrations are the best part of the book. I was able to tell JDaniel the names of all the bugs and types of flowers, because they were labeled in the book.
What did we do?
We planted seeds about a month and a half ago.
We talked and read to the seeds to help them grow.
The pollen level was high so, I brought the plants inside so that JDaniel could check on their progress. He came up with the wonderful idea of pictures walking them through some of his books.
