The book offers insightful information on cultivating and caring for living organisms, presented alongside stunning, vibrant abstract art. It includes three gift-sized editions of Lois Ehlert’s popular hardcover picture books: 'Eating the Alphabet,' 'Planting a Rainbow,' and 'Growing Vegetable Soup,' each complemented by bold, beautiful cut-paper collages. These editions are encased in an attractive slipcase along with a large flower-garden poster, making it an ideal springtime collection. The book provides a healthy dose of completely digestible information on growing and nurturing living things; it’s also a zesty introduction to vivid, abstract art.
