Book Review - Behold Our Magical Garden: Poems Fresh from a School Garden

About the Book
In Behold Our Magical Garden you get witty and inspiring upbeat poems that are poised to cultivate a new crop of gardeners, aided by Daniel Duncan’s bountiful illustrations. 

In our garden, can you see? 

A grand adventure? And it’s free! 

A green delicious fantasy? 

Behold our magical garden. 

There’s a lot more to gardens than meets the eye! In this collection of buoyant poems filled with fun facts, young nature enthusiasts and budding gardeners are called on to help solve a mystery by the compost bin, join a Wild West–style standoff between some good bugs and a few bad ones, interview the sun to find out what happens when it drinks a glass of water, and learn the fancy names of plants to spice up dinner conversation. They’ll be spurred to grab their own gardening tools, drop in some seeds, encounter a few insects, gather fresh vegetables, and find a whole lot of magic. Allan Wolf’s playful poems and Daniel Duncan’s whimsically detailed, welcoming illustrations combine in a charming celebration of the many wonders and lessons to be learned from a school garden. For further inspiration, engaging notes on the poems and an author’s note on jotting down observations can be found in the back matter.

My Take on the Book
This was a great collection of poetry, art, science and so much more. I loved the mix of poetry that was spread throughout the book. The poems are fun and really create a picture that create a picture in your mind's eye. If you have a budding artist, poet or writer, they will love this book!
