Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert

Ages 2 to 6:  Planting a Rainbow is a delightful book that will show children the wonderful process of growing a garden and recognizing the colors of the rainbow.  They will delight in the colorful and simple pictures as they "travel" from picking flower bulbs in the fall, buying seeds and seedlings and how a garden is planned.  Then they will see the bulbs sprout and the seeds germinate, and in the end they create a beautiful rainbow of flowers.  They learn about different flowers by their colors and how water, soil, and sun are necessary for plants to grow. For some Pre-School activities in Science, Math and Language Arts look at http://www.brighthub.com/education/early-childhood/articles/40846.aspx.  Stay tuned for more books from this writer.
