One day, when Rollo was between five and six years old, he went out to prove himself in the garden. In a corner of the family plot, where his father had given him a little square area to dig, Rollo planted corn. He watched the soil for two days -- two! -- and the corn would not grow! What was the matter? Why, he would plant it again -- and this time with beans! Gardening is One day, when Rollo was between five and six years old, he went out to prove himself in the garden.

Aivan ihana kirja. Minusta jokaisen lapsen/nuoren pitäisi tämä kirja lukea. Käsivällisyyttä ja työn tärkeyttä oppii hauskalla tavalla. :) Rollo on suloinen. <3

Wholesome book but not one of the best. Good series for early readers who would struggle with longer, more difficult books.
