My Busy Green Garden

Description

So begins this lyrical tribute to the bugs, bees, and birds that make the garden such a busy place. With each turned page, more visitors appear, and all the while the surprise—a chrysalis—changes unnoticed until, on the last page, a butterfly emerges and flies away across the garden's well-tended borders.

Back-of-book notes about the natural histories of the garden's denizens complete this lovely and lively portrait of backyard nature, which is also a gentle meditation on the rewards of paying attention. A chipmunk hides on every page to divert and engage young readers.
