Book Description
for Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Autumn bulb plantings, winter seed catalog selections and early spring sproutings open an array of specific activities pictured within uniquely designed pages offering accurate details for family gardeners. A bright spectrum of flowers emerges from the pictured cross-sections of soil. The rainbow is recapitulated by cleverly sized final pages showing the artist's genius with color, line and shape as well as the glorious colors one garden might yield. (Ages 5-11)
