This is a riotous celebration of the cycle of the seasons on a young boy's vegetable patch. Winter, summer, rain or shine, Nan and Wilfred visit and tend their vegetable patch. Sometimes they dig, sometimes they sow, and sometimes they just lie in the long green grass and sing - and all the while, the good brown earth gets on with doing what the good brown earth does best. This work is from the author of "The Little Boat", illustrated by Patrick Benson, which won the Kurt Maschler Award and was shortlisted for the Smarties Book Prize.
