Sow and Grow: A Gardening Book for Children (Hardcover)
Very disappointing and sadly missed opportunity given the attractive title and the wide promotion that seems to have been taking place. Old-fashioned, patronising and somewhat muddled as to purpose and unfortunately would fail to engage many children these days especially those in the UK for whome some of the US vocabulary and useage would be an unnecessary obstacle. The quality of reproduction of the potentially fascinating pages of old drawings and diagrams is often quite poor so again an opportunity missed.
Some specimen pages of text and diagrams on the Amazon website would have helped me avoid the mistake of buying this book and saved the valuable time and expensive mileage used to buy a replacement present (which, incidentally, was "Grow It, Eat It") The 2008 publication date can too easily lead people to feel it is an up to date contemporary volume living up to title properly.

Instead we have a very painstaking compilation of historical material of the "hobby and past-time" kind instead of an inspiring manual which the title suggests.
