Mortimer’s First Garden by Karma Wilson

I love, love, love Karma Wilson and I also love Mortimer. Mortimer has several books, but in the spirit of spring, planting and gardens I thought you might enjoy Mortimer’s First Garden. Mortimer is a mouse who likes to eat seeds, but when he hears his people talking about putting their seeds in the dirt he isn’t totally convinced-at first. Who would put perfectly good food in the dirt? But when he hears his people talking about how their seeds will make everything green he starts to wonder if they might be on to something. Mortimer decides to plant his one seed. He grows impatient, but eventually learns that sometimes miracles do happen.
