This is a sweet bedtime story for young readers. It goes through the garden and tucks in many vegetables. There are numerous word plays that will be lost on kids (potatoes shutting their eyes, corn covering their ears, etc.), but adult readers will enjoy it. The illustrations are high color and include happy, sleepy looking veggies. Throughout the book, there’s an earthworm exploring the garden soil and smiling at the veggies. A sweet story good for expanding and updating the bed time story selection. Recommended for readers 2 and up.
