the book
Join Tim & Sally as they embark on a learning adventure about the joys of vegetable gardening and take their first trip to the beach.
Written in verse and perfect for early readers from ages three through eight, in Tim & Sally's Vegetable Garden, Grady Thrasher teaches the mechanics of planning and sowing a garden through the eyes of children experiencing it for the first time. With their dog Flip by their side, the whole family plans, plants, and tends their garden, eagerly awaiting the harvest and the thrill of eating food they had grown.
In Tim & Sally's Beach Adventure they learn about sea creatures, play in the waves, build sand-castles, and learn about the joys of vacationing together as a family.
This nostalgic, illustrated tale harkens of an earlier time, where family works side-by-side and enjoys simplicity and the wonders of discovery.
