Description

"The book provides a healthy dose of completely digestible information on growing and nurturing living things; it's also a zesty introduction to vivid, abstract art." –Publishers Weekly, of Growing Vegetable SoupColor explodes from Ehlert's bold, beautiful cut-paper collages like seeds from an over-ripe pod. Three gift-sized editions of her beloved hardcover picture books—Eating the Alphabet (with a glossary of fruits and vegetables), Planting a Rainbow (a concept book about colors and different flowers), and Growing Vegetable Soup (includes a recipe!)—are packaged in a lovely slipcase with a 16" x 22" flower-garden poster. It's a springtime extravaganza!
