Produktbeschreibung

What else lies beneath the surface of Jackie's garden? A whole world of wonder. From squirming earthworms to busy ants and marvelous microbes, critters have a special part to play in creating healthy, fertile soil. When Jackie and her garden friends decide to grow a lip-smacking snack, what will they do with the scraps? They'll turn them into compost and make more soil! Written in the cumulative style of "The House that Jack Built," this playful celebration of how things grow, return to the earth, and grow again will inspire young readers to try their hands at gardening and composting.
