In pictures as bright as sunshine, a father and child share the simple joy of planting, watering, and watching seeds grow in the family garden.

Then tomatoes, potatoes, corn, cabbage, and lots of other vegetables are cooked up into the best soup ever – and they can all be grown again next year!

Dad says we are going to grow vegetable soup. So begins Lois Ehlert’s bright, bold picture book about vegetable gardening for the very young. The necessary tools are pictured and labeled, as are the seeds (green bean, pea, corn, zucchini squash, and carrot). Then the real gardening happens . . . planting, weeding, harvesting, washing, chopping, and cooking! In the end? It was the best soup ever. Ehlert’s simple, colorful cut-paper-style illustrations are child-friendly, as is the big black type. A recipe for vegetable soup tops it all off!
