Alligator's Garden is a charming, interactive picture book that introduces young readers to the basics of gardening through the story of an alligator planting her own flower patch. The unique element of placing cards on a board as the story progresses makes this a hands-on experience, perfect for engaging preschoolers and early elementary children. It gently illustrates the steps of planting and the patience required, culminating in a delightful surprise. This book is ideal for parents looking to spark an interest in nature or provide a calming, educational read-aloud.
