Behold Our Magical Garden: Poems Fresh from a School Garden

A school garden is a great place to set a picture book. It is something all kids should be able to relate to, and it is rich with material for a writer. This book is a collection of twenty-nine poems that tell little stories about so many different experiences, plants, birds, bugs, and even the weather in a school garden, and how all of those things contribute to the joy and learning students find there.

The poems by Allan Wolf are written in many different forms, all of which are discussed in two pages of back-matter that can be used by parents and teachers to encourage youngsters to try their hand at writing their own fun poems.

The marvelous illustrations by Daniel Duncan fill every page with so many details about each of the poems, and youngsters will be searching the pictures for all those fun details. Readers will never be disappointed. And there is such a refreshing sense of fun in all these illustrations! Imagine how kids will react when they turn to a page with a thundercloud in his underwear. Yeah. These is a real sense of fun on every page.

Don’t miss this book!
