brittany tolobrittany tolo: I recently read this book aloud to my daughter and it was a beautiful read. It was interesting to read about what creatures above the dirt and below the dirt do during each season.

Sastre: I teach 4-5 years old! When I read it to them, they were all so attentive. Very educational…features plants, insects, animals and the 4 seasons! They enjoyed the book.

Mali TierneyMali Tierney: I was expecting more of an 'educational' book with gardening tips and bug facts but it's definitely more of a story (told from the perspective of a young girl gardening with her Nana). Still a very beautiful book though, just not sure how often we will actually read it.

joana vieira: Esse livro é muito lindo. As ilustrações, o texto, as possibilidades de trabalhar a historia. Um primor. Recomendo muito, da pra trabalhar com crianças menores adaptando, mas é mais indicado pra crianças acima de 7 anos

Maria C: I'm using this book to homeschool my daughter. I liked it a lot. I'm thinking of getting the Over and Under the Snow, by the same author, just because how well done this one was. It is like a storybook and science book all in one.
