  • When Grandma Trudy doesnt volunteer to help in the school garden club, Gertie is the only one there who knows EVERYTHING about growing vegetables. She tries to help her friends, but soon theyre calling her a bossy know-it-all. Janie says you have to just wait and see how things are going to turn out. But how can something turn out all right if it starts out all wrong?About the SeriesGertie Green (youd better not call her Gertrude!) is a feisty first-grader with the spunk of Junie B. and the literal mind of Amelia Bedelia. Whether shes planting seeds or digging them back up, trying out a new purple veggie or rage gardening (Gertie-style), one thing you can be sure of is that shes going to solve her problem with the help of whatever she happens to be growing at the time. Each book features a different vegetable as a key part of the story and includes how-to-grow information for young gardeners.

    P>Review The Gertie in the Garden series is so engaging that kids will catch on right away to why growing vegetables and even playing with them will encourage kids to view healthy foods as helping them negotiate their way in the world. Kids will love these books (and parents will too). Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, Emerita, New York University About the Author: S.M.R.
