  | Full Text Reviews: School Library Journal - 07/01/2011 PreS-Gr 2—Little Critter introduces beginning readers to planting and growing a garden through simple sentences and amusing illustrations. He and his family show children how to select seeds and plants; clear the land; and even how compost, worms, and bugs help a garden flourish. Pair this title with Katherine Ayres's Up, Down, and Around (Candlewick, 2006), Helene J. Jordan's How a Seed Grows (Crowell, 1960), and Lois Ehlert's Growing Vegetable Soup (Harcourt, 1987) for classroom garden units or storyhours.—Melissa Smith, Royal Oak Public Library, MI - Copyright 2011 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
