Books like Gus Grows a Plant by Frank Remkiewicz
When spring arrives, Gus decides to grow a plant. With only seeds, water, sunlight, and a touch of love, he embarks on a simple yet meaningful gardening adventure. As he digs, plants the seeds, waters them and waits, Gus develops the virtues of responsibility, observation and patience—skills that become increasingly important as young readers begin school.
The story uses just a few easy-to-read words per page, making it accessible for early readers.
