Planting a Rainbow is a delightful book that will show
children the wonderful process of growing a garden and recognizing
the colors of the rainbow. They
will delight in the colorful and simple pictures as they
"travel" from picking flower bulbs in the fall, buying
seeds and seedlings and how a garden is planned. Then they
will see the bulbs sprout and the seeds germinate, and in the end
they create a beautiful rainbow of flowers. They learn about
different flowers by their colors and how water, soil, and sun are
necessary for plants to grow.
