What are your favorite gardening books for kids?

Last year we used Sow and Grow and had a blast.

This year we're using Gardening Wizardry for Kids and maybe Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots.

Once I'm done with these books I'm out of ideas. :001_smile:

So, what else is out there?

 

I don't mind if the books seem to be for younger kids (mine are 10 and 13). I like enchanting ideas (like sunflower houses) and simple instructions. We have a decent amount of gardening space, a brown thumb and lots of enthusiasm.

 

I am curious though, what's out there for teen gardeners? Is there no in between? Is it Roots, Shoots... and straight to adult gardening?

 

Last question, has anyone actually used (maybe even completed) Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots? What did you think?

Thanks! This is exactly the kind of book I was thinking of.
