There's a special place for Nonna and me, for friends, for pets, for family. When we go, it's a busy day, we talk, we dig, plant seeds and play. We join our friends, share the load, in the community garden... on Red Gum Road.
Nonna and her gardening partner, the young boy who is narrating this rhyming story, share time together tending a community garden with a friendly and diverse cast of characters. After planting and picking, there's a picnic!
Books written in rhyme are fun to read and fun to listen to. The sounds in the rhyming words are emphasised, which makes it easier for children to hear the sounds that make up the words. Being able to hear the smaller sounds in words now will help your child later when they start to sound out words as they learn to read.
