By June O’Sullivan and Clodagh Halse (Featherstone, £8.99)
June O’Sullivan is chief executive of London Early Years Foundation and many of the ideas in this book have been tested in the LEYF nursery gardens. Designed to remind us about the power of gardening for young children, the book features a host of ideas from planting herby boots and creating spaces for bees and butterflies to weaving jewellery made of flowers. It shows how gardening can extend vocabulary, develop motor skills and enhance observation and concentration.
