Customer Reviews of And the Good Brown Earth
THE JOY OF CHANGING SEASONS A story of a year's changing seasons is always illuminating for children, especially for those so young that waiting for winter to turn into summer seems an eternity. Pair that progression with the growing of edibles, as in "The Good Brown Earth," and you have a peaceful story that will help youngsters appreciate the world in which we live.
Joe and his grandmother are the best of friends. They spend a great deal of time together tending to a vegetable patch. As the story opens it is fall and the pair are turning over the earth. Their next visit to the patch takes place during the winter as Gram thinks about all the good things in her gardening book, and Joe builds a snowman.
Of course, spring follows for planting and summer for growth. Best of all is the harvest when all "Gram's plants are standing tall and ripe and lush."
Repeated throughout is the phrase "And the good brown earth got on with doing what the good brown earth does best," a reminder of the value of our soil.
