Greetings -

We are off to a good start with the first four chapters of this informative and fun book. Definitely PL OK.

Nicely read with a good use of different voices for the different family members.

It brought back memories of when my daughter was four years old and I pulled a carrot out of our garden, wiped it off, and ate it. The look of astonishment on her face was a joy to behold. :D :D

More to come.

Greetings -

Three more chapters (5, 6, and 7) have been awarded the prestigious title of PL OK.

They are all easy to listen to.

My first job in the garden when I was nine was picking the potato bugs off the leaves. I think it made me feel important to be doing it.

The sandman is making his presence known and a large padded horizontal surface beckons from the bedroom, so I will get to the other three chapters later today.
