Secrets of the Garden by Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld illustrated by Priscilla Lamont

"Food Chains and the Food Web in Our Backyard"
The reader experiences the life cycle of a vegetable garden as he/she witnesses a family plant, maintain and harvest a large vegetable patch.  Other organisms are living in the garden which help the garden thrive.  The author utilizes these organisms to introduce food chains and the food web.
The pet chickens' comments add humor.
The illustrations are adorable.
 I love the end pages which have the map of the garden.  I also like the layout of the worm page.
