Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the concept of 'not yet' or showing signs of picky eating. It is a gentle tool for preschoolers who are curious about where their dinner comes from but may lack the patience for long-term projects. Peppa and George visit their grandparents' garden and learn that growing food is a process that involves more than just planting a seed: it requires care, waiting, and a little bit of help from nature's creatures. While the book focuses on the biology of gardening, the underlying emotional theme is the joy of intergenerational bonding and the satisfaction of seeing a project through to the end. It is perfectly pitched for the 2 to 5 age range, using familiar characters to model positive attitudes toward healthy vegetables.
