In the Garden

　　在《In the Garden》書中，每一個跨頁都展示了每個季節中的特定時刻，作者並活用了豐富的翻頁機關設計，讓孩子透過有趣的互動方式，發現許多關於園藝與大自然的小知識。打開紅通通的種子，你可以清楚看見種子的內部構造——胚芽、胚乳、種皮，或是花的組成——花藥、花萼、柱頭……。書中還出現了許多關於園藝的詞彙，作者也都一一細心地以文字或插圖詳細說明。
　　
　　從冬季開始，隨著一年四季的變幻，孩子們可以跟著以剪影方式呈現的書中兩位主角——Plum以及Robin，享受在花園裡親近大自然的每一刻。你可以在冬天過後整理園地、撒下種子，在溫室裡種植可以過冬的植物，架設豆類植物和番茄的攀爬架，或是發現豌豆莢裡的綠色豆子，窺看鬱金香球莖，然後在秋天時收成果實與蔬菜，慶祝你的大豐收。《In the Garden》提供了一場引人入勝的田園巡禮，同時也啟發孩子的好奇心和觀察力，是一本適合大小讀者一起享受閱讀的美感繪本知識書。
