    About Over in the Garden

    Gardening fans will swoon over this bright and gorgeous counting picture book based on the folk song “Over in the Meadow”—packed full of colorful plants, adorable gardeners, and the numbers one to ten.

    Over in the garden, in the weeds, in the sun,
    bent a brave little gardener with her little shovel ONE.

    In this clever and lively remix of the children’s rhyme, little gardeners come together one by one to tend to a community garden. Young readers will enjoy scenes of digging, weeding, planting, composting, and harvesting, illustrated in lush, detailed scenes full of cozy outdoor joy. 

    In additional to its gardening theme, it’s also a counting book, and your littlest readers will enjoy counting along from one to ten as all the gardeners come together for a celebration at the finale. There’s so much to love in this exquisite and educational book.
