Text and photographs feature highlights of the gardening year as six-year-old Ashley grows flowers and vegetables in her garden, looks at native plants in the woods, and visits a botanical garden.

PreSchool-Grade 3-- Blond, six-year-old Ashley tells about small incidents in the gardening year from the spring, when she and her parents buy seeds, seedlings, and plants, to a harvest picnic in the fall. Also in spring, Ashley and her mother stroll through the woods and visit the New York Botanical Garden. A gentle delight in growing things percolates through the sunshiny full-color photographs. Ashley is relaxed and unself-conscious before the camera and is as much a subject as the growing plants. A few sentences are scattered among the photographs, many of which are full-page. The text is secondary to the competent--but not outstanding--photographs, which are only loosely connected to each other. This is not a straightforward treatment of the subject addressed directly to young readers. It doesn't give tips on growing, except incidentally. A pleasant but nonessential evocation of middle-class suburban gardening, suitable for large collections--where relevant. --Sharon Levin, Univ . of Vermont, Burlington
