First Peas to the Table: How Thomas Jefferson Inspired a School Garden
Maya loves contests, so she is excited when her teacher announces they will plant a school garden like Thomas Jefferson's garden at Monticello--and they'll have a "First Peas to the Table" contest, just like Jefferson and his neighbors had each spring. Maya plants her pea seeds with a secret head start--found in Jefferson's Garden Book--and keeps careful notes in her garden journal. But her friend Shakayla has plans of her own for the contest...Susan Grigsby's light-hearted classroom story also presents scientific and historical information. Nicole Tadgell's watercolors add both appeal and botanical accuracy.Author: Susan GrigsbyPublisher: Albert Whitman & CompanyPublished: 03/01/2012Pages: 32Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 0.85lbsSize: 8.60h x 10.90w x 0.40dISBN: 9780807524527Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 4.5Point Value: 0.5Interest Level: Lower GradeQuiz #/Name: 150457 / First Peas to the Table
