MY GARDEN

It’s all well and good to help one's parent in the family garden but so much more exciting to imagine one's own garden. The youthful heroine in MY GARDEN does just that. And, who knows, a planted jelly bean MIGHT yield a jelly bean bush or a planted seashell a row of seashells. Cassandra Morris's youthful voice complements the story. Young listeners will be enticed to follow along, looking at full-page spreads of flowers changing color and unusual pop-up surprises like umbrellas and rusty keys. Morris giggles delightfully with the heroine's thought of garden rabbits turning to chocolate—good to eat. Gentle music with bird and insect sounds completes the recording.
