As picturesque as spring itself: Maya's little garden! Maja, the charming little girl from the pen of Swedish artist Lena Anderson, takes the reader and viewer into her garden. There she has grown beetroot, potatoes, leeks, lettuce, rhubarb, in short: the most important types of vegetables. A small bed of herbs is not missing either. In clever verses, children learn interesting facts about the respective vegetables. A small "gardener's apprenticeship" describes the most important utensils for "gardening", some cooking and baking recipes as well as a herbology round off this enchanting book.
