Gagliano Wed, 29 Jul 2009 22:14:31 +0000 http://www.sheistoofondofbooks.com/?p=5783#comment-20749 I'd like to thank everyone for their kind and wonderful comments about our book. Elizabeth Traynor did a marvelous job of illustrating the book and making my text come to life! She is truly gifted. I enjoyed the research for the book because gardening is my passion. I have an A.A.S. degree in Ornamental Horticulture. I taught elementary education for 34 years, and I was always looking for interesting books about plants for the children. My hope is that this book will educate and interest everyone in gardening, and invite them to appreciate the wonders of nature. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Better than "Highlights" "Hidden Pictures" Cheap me, I found the book at Borders.com (at list price), but was hoping for a free shipping deal. In any case, I am buying the book (x2) for my grandkids (I have three, but one is too young to speak or walk or control poop/pee requirements, let alone appreciate AWESOME pictures). Did i say my sister rocks at making pretty pictures? She does! PiT My sister rocks at illustration.

I've done them for other book blogs; it's fun. You can contact me directly by email and we'll take it from there. Thanks again for posting my book. The great feedback is very welcome! Hi Dawn,

Marie - I'll be buying this one for gifts - a great thing to bring along when visiting a friend's beach house this summer :) Dorte - As I read V IS FOR VENUS I was thinking that I know several "grown ups" who would enjoy it. It would make a nice coffee table book. Jenners - the pics are beautiful but not juvenile (the text and illustrations don't talk down to kids) Nicole - everyone is home for the summer - we have to find "something for everyone" :) zibilee - highly recommended; I hope you can get it for your friend and her children.

I'll have to keep an eye out for it. It reminds me a little of Jerry Pallotta's alphabet books -- each one has a different focus like skulls, bugs, birds, etc. but it has lovely illustrations (differs depending on the book) and wonderful text that makes you think. My son just loves them. This looks beautiful! I’ll have to keep an eye out for it.

You'd be surprised what you can learn from it. I sure picked up a lot of new information about plants. Hey Dorte… it’s for kids of all ages! You’d be surprised what you can learn from it.
