"Harvey the Gardener" and "There's NO Such Thing as a Dragon"
Winter moved in for another round and good, fun books help see it through.
Harvey the Gardener
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Lars Klinting
Harvey needs a new houseplant. Chip comes up with beans for it. The two get busy planting the pots and growing the beans.
This book can be a way to have children try planting their own seeds. I would recommend not soaking the beans all night. Take care choosing the beans as some will take over the room.
The illustrations are bright, colorful and show the steps well.
There's NO Such Thing as a Dragon
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Jack Kent
Pure fantasy, but lots of fun. Billy finds a tiny dragon one morning. He is delighted. His mother declares dragons do not exist, so Billy ignores the dragon which then gets bigger and bigger with fun consequences.
The dragon is very cute. The illustrations make it look like a wonderful pet. They lend a lot of humor to the story as well.
