Planting a Rainbow

Planting a Rainbow

I bought this book for a one year old. It is a sweet and colorful book. I thought it might be entertaining for the parent to read (over and over) and colorful enough to engage a child's interest. The parents of this particular child are very interested in keeping things associated with the child as organic as possible. I believe their parental approach is supported by the story in this book and would appeal to the parents, as well as the child. I believe that anything to encourage intellectual interaction with a child, no matter the age, is a good thing.

Perfect springtime book for ages 3 to 8

Unless you inherently know your delphinium from a morning glory, this is a fabulous picture book to read with your child. The illustrations are fabulous and the detailed explanations interesting. Inside the book is a layered rainbow of colors that details red plants, green ferns, annuals and perenials. For this year and next year when you plant your rainbow, again.

This is a great book to help start a garden with children. Every child care provider should have this book in their library collection.

I purchased this book for my classroom library, the bright colors on the cover caught my eye in the bookstore. The author Lois Ehlert did a fantastic job in educating her readers with the different types of flower seeds or bulbs to purchase. I noticed off the back how she showed how far to plant the bulbs in the ground. My class is in the process of starting our very own garden, and we will take many examples from this book. This will be a great reference point for us. As a pre-school teacher the pages of primary colors are a wonderful tool for me to teach the children their colors. I highly recommend this book to everyone, even if you don't have children or are not a child care provider. I truly believe this book would serve as a great coffee table book and conversational piece.

A beautiful and colorful board book

I bought this book for my 18mo daughter's Easter basket - she LOVES it. She loves to leaf through the section on the individual colors of plants...red, orange, yellow, etc. Very sturdy board book. Really colorful and kid-friendly words about planting flowers. I love to garden and this book helps me share that love with my kids.

Planting

This is an excellent book to read before planting a garden or teaching children about plants. It's simple text and colorful pictures are just right for children preschool through 2nd grade. I've used it in both preschool and first grades to start my unit on plants.

Very cute for young gardeners!

I love to garden and my children love to get their hands dirty, too! This book shows children how seeds and the roots of plants sprout into beautiful, colorful flowers! It's simple enough to show my preschooler what happens when planting a garden and goes though the colors of the rainbow. As far as learning how to plant and tend a garden, we'll do that together outside:)

Beautiful Illustrations.

My 5 year old daughter loved counting the flowers and talking about all the colors and sizes.

Couldn't find it anywhere

Title says it all, couldn't find it in any book store, needed it for my sister baby, got it in only a few days.

a good gardening start

We just moved to NC and I am planning a garden for the spring. This book is helping make my nearly 3-year-old excited about planting his own garden. My nearly 1-year old just likes the colors and the flaps, which is great too!

Girls love this

Got this for the little girls in the house. They Said "Its a fun active book that makes you want to go plant a garden. Took it to school and our whole class liked reading it (gr 2)."

Great book for gardeners to share with their children

I bought this book for my granddaughter whose father is an avid gardener. I knew of this book from working in an elementary school & loved the colors. He was thrilled with how it went through the planting process in such simple, but realistic manner. There are labels on all the flowers. A young child would enjoy looking at the pictures & the beautiful colors. An older child would enjoy this book as they begin to explore in a garden with an adult.
