The girl in this book grows chocolate rabbits, tomatoes as big as beach balls, flowers that change color, and seashells in her garden. How does your garden grow?

My Garden celebrates the magic of a child's imagination. While a little girl is helping her mother tend the garden, she imagines what her own garden would be like. Her flowers would always be in bloom and change colors whenever she wanted them to; a planted jellybean would yield a jelly bean bush, and any flower picked would immediately be replaced with a new one. The items chosen to appear in her imaginary garden reflect the simple things that make children happy, from candy to "buttons and umbrellas and rusty old keys." The book features the words on one page, and the watercolor illustration on the opposite page. The sentences range from two words to many, providing variety for your child to learn the fundamentals of recognizing words.

The philosophy behind the imaginary garden is so innocent and childlike; it's guaranteed to make readers smile and start imagining their own perfect garden. Would your little one's garden also have chocolate bunnies and grow seashells? Perhaps it would instead have fairies that live in the flowers and tended to the garden when you forgot. Humor is also encouraged with a statement like; "the carrots would be invisible because I don't like carrots." What food would your little one not want to grow, and ask them why?
