What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

[set star]"This is the boldest, brassiest garden book to hit the market,
and what a delight."—School Library Journal

"A zesty introduction to vivid, abstract art. Both Ehlert's illustrations and her basic instructions shed light and color on the simple pleasures of gardening."—Publishers Weekly

Editorial Reviews

Favorite titles are now available as board books for smallest hands. Upon the original publication, in 1987, of Lois Ehlert's electric-hued Growing Vegetable Soup, PW called it a "zesty introduction to vivid abstract art." With just one phrase per spread, the book makes a smooth transition to board book as it follows the long process of planting and growing ingredients for a truly homemade soup.
