Compost

Aimed at the very young child, this picture book describes what composting is, what it does, and how to go about it.

"In this nonfiction picture book, a little girl explains how her family turns garbage and garden waste into soil using their compost bin. She throws in lima beans from dinner, a moldy jack-o'-lantern from Halloween, grass clippings, wilted flowers, her rabbit's droppings, and fallen leaves. Over the winter she helps water the pile, watches her mother turn it, feels the heat of the compost, smells its earthy smell, and helps spread it on the garden for spring planting. Luminous watercolor paintings in bright pastel shades give the book immediacy and eye appeal." -- Booklist
