| Global Garden by Kate Petty and Jennie Maizels |
My choice for world book day is a non-fiction book. A book that nevertheless tells a story about how plants are part of our everyday lives. It is a very visual book with bold colours and design. Most of the pages are interactive with pops ups, tabs to lift up and flaps to open. It is suitable for ages 4 to 7 and onwards.
It covers very simply what plants need to grow, how they grow and how they reproduce. Children can focus on their favourite fruits and vegetables. The table is set for breakfast and you can find out about the source of all those yummy foods.
The book will help your children gain a basic understanding of botany and it may even inspire them to get growing. It is a must for both boys and girls. They will not be disappointed and will want dip into it over the years. It is a great mix of the visual, fun and a teeny bit educational. Hopefully it will whet their appetite to read more about plants and growing.

The book is published by the Eden Project who also publish a book with a similar theme ‘The World Came to My Place Today’.
To celebrate World Book Day everyone at my son's school is dressing up as a character from a book. It would make this blogpost complete if I could now say that my son choose to be a character from one of our gardening story books. However this is real life and he choose a shark. Hope you like the costume.
