I love colorful books with big letters for kids. Nothing is wasted in the earth. There is even a use for weeds. The Pomdig was cute and funny. While being cute and funny, one learns about the necessity of weeds.

A beautiful story about a creature who plants weeds in our gardens. She is like a little fairy.
I liked how the little bugs reacted when she was captured. I liked the colourful pictures too.

So cute and funny
I had no idea that weeds helped protect our special flowers and vegetables, so even as an adult this book was informative! Highly recommend.

Have you ever helped your mom/dad or others plant a garden?
You better ask Pomdig Orgo where do the weeds & wildflowers that pop up everywhere come from?
I do not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing free books from publishers & authors. Therefore, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one.
An awesome book cover, great hand-drawn colored pictures, charming illustrations & proper font & writing style. A very professionally written children’s (elementary & MS age) elephant storybook. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters, settings, etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s movie, educational presentation (gardening), an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini-TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.

Cute Story About... Weeds
What a unique and different perspective! In this little story, we learn of the Pomdig, who is a little creature that plants weeds in gardens. From her perspective, she is doing a good thing, providing food for bees as well as slugs and garden pests so that they will eat the weeds and not the plants. But the gardener sees it differently, of course. The illustrations are cute and well done. It is told in rhyming verse. An imaginative child—or one who has asked questions about weeds—may appreciate a story that is a little different.

Beautifully illustrated, uniquely different story
I found the story different from other books about gardens and the creatures who live in them. It makes you think about the weeds in a different way. It also gives you a reason to start the story over again. The illustrations are cute and colorful. Good book for the age group of 3-6 year olds.

Review by Abraham (6) @LittleRedsReviews
I was very happy to read this book, because my Auntie Meow did the drawings. I liked the story, it rhymed really good. My favourite bit was when bees got stuck in the gardeners hair, that made me laugh. This book is cool, it even has a challenge at the end. 5 Stars.

The Pomdig
This book Is delightfully written in rhyme. If you thought weeds were something to get rid of, you will think differently after you read this book.
