"Up in the garden, the world is full of green--leaves and sprouts, growing vegetables, ripening fruit. But down in the dirt there is a busy world of earthworms digging, snakes hunting, skunks burrowing, and all the other animals that make a garden their home. In this exuberant book, discover the wonder and activity that lie hidden between the stalks, under the shade of leaves . . . and down in the dirt."--
And then it's spring

Simple text reveals the anticipation of a boy who, having planted seeds while everything around is brown, fears that something has gone wrong until, at last, the world turns green.

"It's time for Bird to build her nest! Follow her as she pulls a worm out of the ground, lifts some twigs that are just the right size, and pushes the twigs into place. Uh-oh! One of the twigs falls to the ground! But after a day of hard work, Bird's nest is ready and waiting"--Publisher's website.

As a tiny shoot unfolds, a myriad of insects peer at it and wonder what it could be.
This is a perfect title for exploring together--little ones love to talk about what these bugs could be saying. Hint: Ellis has a dictionary, but I bet you can figure it out! -Casey
One in a great nonfiction picture book series, be sure to look for the others. -Casey
