Gardening Picture Books

I found the cutest little list of books about gardening today and wanted to share them with you.  If you have a child who has an interest in the outdoors, one you could see crawling through a garden with a magnifying glass; these books are for your little explorer.

•Insect Detective by Steve Voake. A guidebook to bugs and insects with
fantastic watercolor and ink illustrations, including a handy section in back
full of practical experiments you can do in your own backyard.
•The Imaginary Garden by Andrew Larsen. A child and her grandfather
paint an imaginary garden through its various stages of growth, turning a drawn
world into one that feels magically real.
• The Curious Garden by Peter Brown. With a wink to guerrilla
gardening, and plain downright gorgeous illustrations, Curious Garden tells the
story of a small garden that slowly spreads to transform a gray city into a
lush, green landscape.
• Quiet in the Garden by Aliki. A book focused on the message of stillness, and the power of
observation, not to mention great watercolor, crayon, and ink illustrations of
snails, compost heaps, and squirrels.
• Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney. In this classic children's story the author's great aunt
Alice Rumphius resolved that when she grew up she would go to faraway places,
live by the sea in her old age, and do something to make the world more
beautiful, which she accomplishes by spreading lupine seeds wherever she walks.
