Fox and Rabbit's Garden is a very enjoyable story. My son adored the characters and the illustrations are so soft and sweet. Fox is planning to put rabbit in a stew, but at the end, the stew is so delicious with all the veggies he discovers he doesn't need rabbit.I also enjoyed the fact that the author put in some easy veggies for kids to grow on their own in the back of the book. It was a very well thought out children's story. I can't wait for more stories from Laurel Heger.

Fox and Rabbit's Garden has some wonderful qualities in a children's book. It is a fun story with rhyming verses, with simple yet engaging illustrations. I especially like some of the vocabulary choices; instead of the three to five letter words so frequently used in children's books, Ms. Heger uses some colorful and expansive words. The back of the book has gardening ideas for children which I thought a wonderful addition. This book is an appealing read for young children and their parents.
