Grandfather did a lot in his garden. He planted plant, weeded those plants and watered those plants. While he worked in his garden, he was always on the lookout for rabbits who might come in to feast on his plants.
Grandpa planted sunflowers that stretched to the sun for nourishment and he planted ripe strawberries that would be oh-so-tempting to little bunnies.
Grandpa planted watermelon which would grown into ripe, juicy treats for those who were smart enough to eat them. They would be a real meal for the bunnies.
There was also corn and lettuce in Grandfather’s Garden, and they would be wonderful in a salad – or in the tummy of a bunny rabbit!
Carrots and potatoes would make a wonderful meal for the family – or for a bunny rabbit! Do you think there are any bunnies in Grandfather’s Garden? You will have to read the book to find out!
The illustrations in the book are bright and lively and they will keep the brain of the preschool child active and interested. A wonderful read for boys and girls alike.
