The Curious Gardener | Anna Pavord

“The garden was especially curious about old, forgotten things.“

I would use this book to discuss taking care of the Earth.

Picture book published in 2009
The illustrations in this book are beautifully done, flowing well with the story. What stood out to me most was how the sizes of the pictures changed throughout the story. At the beginning, the boy was much larger than the garden he was working on but as the story developed the surrounding area became larger than him.

Our Icelandic tradition continues! We‘re cozied up by the fire with chocolates and our new books! I‘ve been dying to read this play, so I‘m thrilled. 😊

Tamra What? Capek wrote a gardening book??? I associate him with R.U.R., which is a fabulous short play so reflective of the era and relevant today with AI. 2y
AvidReader25 @Tamra That‘s sounds amazing! I‘m looking it up now. My husband is the gardener in our house and I got him this little gem. 2y
Tamra @AvidReader25 so thoughtful! 💚 RUR is in the public domain, so you should be able to find it for free online. It‘s super short. 2y
AvidReader25 @Tamra Oh thank you! 2y

This is a slender little book that I keep picking up when I walk by the piles of books on my table whenever I go to let the dog out. This last time I decided the universe was telling me to pick it up. Maybe I‘ll learn something because as of right now, I‘m a crap gardener.
