Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly A young, fluffy dog helps his dad with various outdoor chores, ending with a cuddly nap in a hammock. Ages 3-6. Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1?Once again, Janovitz has come up with a winning rhymed book that incorporates the humor, wit, and gentle interaction between the father/son duo introduced in Is It Time? (North-South, 1994). Cub is eager to help Wolf in the garden. The well-thought-out, evenly flowing rhyme, "Pull the weeds, plant the seeds/Do the mowing, help with hoeing," lends itself to cheery chanting with each repetitive, growing verse on alternate pages, making the concept of working together really fun. Soft watercolors predominately in pale hues of blue and gray enliven the amusing mishaps as the two "gardeners" progress with their chores and end the hard work with a loving hug and well-deserved nap. A light and bouncy story that's a pleasure to read aloud over and over again.?Rita Soltan, Baldwin Public Library, Birmingham, MI Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
