Green fingers

Budding horticulturalists will savour Round the Garden, a witty look at the
water cycle and its effect on veg. Joshua, a five-year-old veteran of the carrot
patch, was much amused. “I think it’s clever and funny . . . and the pictures
are really strange.” Written by eight-year-old Omri Glaser, and illustrated with
panache by digital artists Byron Glaser and Sandra Higashi. Published by Harry
N. Abrams, $15.95, ISBN 0810941376.
