Reviews

"Pollination: How Does My Garden Grow is an important part of nature's life cycle. Christopher Cheng and Danny Snell have done a great job of creating a narrative nonfiction picture book packed full of details that will help children (and adults) understand something that happens around us all the time, but which we might not really see or take much notice of." -- Tania McCartney * Kids' Book Review *
"For even though young city kids might now know that bees are important, in this intriguing book they learn not only of the bees critical role in the survival of the planet as they flit from flower to flower, but also all the other pollinators who carry the precious gold dust appropriate that it is gold, in the scheme of things from plant to plant, not only providing food for humans but also for their own kind so that the cycle can continue on." -- Barbra Baxton * The Bottom Shelf *
"This simple colourful book shows active grandparents (albeit with beard and glasses) sharing their knowledge and homegrown food with their beloved grandchild. There are many positive aspects to this book apart from the information imparted along the way. There is the lovely relationship between the generations, family members of various backgrounds and the reality of urban living in an apartment without a backyard." -- Lynne Babbage * CBCA Reading Time *
