Flower Garden - Eve Bunting

Follow the progress of a little girl and her father as they purchase a garden and board the bus to carry it home. Full-color illustrations. nAn urban African-American girl and her father buy plants, potting soil, and a window box at the supermarket, ride the bus to their apartment, and put together a colorful gift for the child's mother. Rhyming verse carries the brief story, while wonderful, warm, full-color illustrations present scenes from novel angles, and depict a loving family with a sense of intimacy, sincerity, and joy.--School Library Journal
