Curious George Grows a Garden

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the concept of time or feeling frustrated that their hard work isn't showing immediate results. While many gardening books focus on the science of plants, this collection uses the beloved, impulsive George to mirror a child's natural urge to speed up the process. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who are learning that some of the best things in life require waiting and consistent care. The stories follow George as he discovers the wonders of the natural world, from planting seeds to watching them sprout. Through his characteristic trial and error, George models how to handle the 'boring' parts of a project and the pride that comes from seeing a long-term goal through to the end. It transforms a lesson on patience into a playful adventure, making the virtue feel attainable rather than restrictive.
