Good Book: The Curious Garden

 

 Our very first good book* of the week is...

The Curious Garden

by Peter Brown
This good book is the winner of the 2010 E.B. White Read-Aloud Award and 2010 Children's Choice Book Award too!

While out exploring one day, a little boy named Liam discovers a struggling garden and decides to take care of it. As time passes, the garden spreads throughout the dark, gray city, transforming it into a lush, green world. SLJ reviewed for grades 1-3.

*Each week our library features a special "good book" picked by Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Matlack, or another member of our Purefoy community.  Good books might be award-winners, teacher favorites, or just popular fun books. You can visit the good book all week on the front desk and on the quick picks shelf all year (look for the thumbs up spine labels).
