The Flower Patch Pals Gayle L Plummer

This book is designed to get children excited about planting and gardening!

Come on in and meet: Polly Pansy, Benny Bachelor Button, Rita Rose, Hollis Hollyhock, Zelda Zinnia and Willey the Woolly Thyme!

While this book is entertaining for children it is also a learning tool - but they won't mind this one bit. Each of the 6 short stories highlights a different flower character that has a problem to solve. Benny has been waiting anxiously to be planted in the Flower Patch - but something happens and he has to learn to see things from a different point of view. Rita Rose has thorns and some of the younger plants seem to think that's funny. Willey the Woolly Thyme is everywhere and some flowers don't like that, until they find out how he is really helping them.

Children can learn how to solve real-life problems and learn a few basic facts about these flowers and gardening in general along the way. There are a few simple projects at the end to inspire our children to plant, garden and enjoy!
