1-3Friendship Garden series.
Illustrated by
Éva Chatelain.
A school assignment helps third grader Anna make friends at her new Chicago school. With her classmates, she starts a kids' gardening club (Green) and they work together to catch the thief who stole their biggest pumpkin (Pumpkin). Likable characters in relatable situations and soft, expressive halftone illustrations make this a welcome new chapter-book series. Story-inspired activities and recipes are appended. Review covers these Friendship Garden titles: Green Thumbs-Up! and Pumpkin Spice.
