How Groundhog’s Garden Grew

by Lynne Cherry
The Blue Sky Press, 2003
When Little Groundhog creeps into a neighbor’s garden to eat the delicious vegetables, wise Squirrel decides to teach him how to plant his own garden. Squirrel’s thorough instructions cover the entire garden cycle, from collecting, storing, and sowing the seeds to tending the crops and sharing the harvest. Younger children may need help with some of the vocabulary in the information-packed story, but readers of all ages will be enthralled by the beautifully detailed illustrations.
