Green Truck Giveaway By: Jacqueline Briggs Martin



I thoroughly enjoyed reading the "Green Truck Giveaway" By: Jacqueline Briggs Martin. When two visitors drive through town passing out GREEN TRUCK ALMANACS, or beginning gardening books, the neighbors on Second Street were skeptical. However, they were introduced to gardening that represents each of their lifestyles and personalities. This book demonstrates the joy and excitement that gardening can bring for anyone. Even the grump of a neighbor McDermitt, who requested prickly thorn bushes that would keep people out of his yard, was thrilled when his plants turned into roses and raspberries. This book suggests that plants, flowers, and vegetables promote giving and happiness. Each page of this book contains something extra that the reader may have not expected. In addition to the terrific illustrations every page has a fun fact about gardening such as recipes, gardening in different countries, how to plant your own garden, garden insect repellent, and so much more! As I turn the pages I'm crawling deeper into the heart of the story and learning something exciting and new. I was actually inspired to start planting a garden of my own, Jacqueline Briggs Martin has done it again!
