Growing Vegetable Soup
Boldly colored illustrations and simple text celebrate and explain the vegetable garden, from seed to soup. Relatively simple shapes are expertly placed on each double-page spread to show growth and development, while bright colors enhance both the clarity and the appeal. Together form and color show growth, seasonal changes and the passage of time in this creative presentation of a common experience. ©1987 Cooperative Children's Book Center
