Stuck at home for the summer, Tommy's father gives him license to amuse himself with whatever he pleases. Tommy decides to help his neighbors take care of their plants while they are on vacation. Tommy takes his work very seriously, and becomes such a skilled gardener, that his house is transformed into a untameable jungle - much to the displeasure of Tommy's father! Luckily, Tommy has an idea: to give the plants away to all the neighborhood children so they can learn how to become gardeners themselves. This is a beautifully illustrated and brightly imaginative book, splendid for reading aloud and a great way to introduce your children to the art of gardening and the importance of following one's interests.
爸爸同意汤米做自己喜欢的事——暑假里哪也不去,替出去度假的邻居们照顾植物。家里很快就变得像热带雨林……最后,还是汤米想出了个好办法。让孩子们做自己喜欢的事,培养他们自学的能力!
