Lottie and Dottie Sow Carrots

20 April 2014 by Eileen

Lottie and Dottie Sow Carrots is a book written by Claire Burgess and illustrated by Marijke van Veldhoven. This is the blue Early Reader and is perfect for sharing and reading together. It was released on 17th April 2014 and published by Orion Books.

Lottie and Dottie Sow Carrots

The book is paperback containing about 64 pages. The font comes in one consistent size. It comes with pretty illustrations.

This is a story about Lottie and Dottie. They both love growing things and when they take a trip to Mr McWelly’s Garden Centre they make the amazing discovery that carrots taste much better when they grow them themselves. They also meet their neighbour Mr Thompson who loves to dig holes in his garden. He passes a valuable tip to Dottie. So what did Mr Thompson tell her? I am going to let you find out.

The storyline is very enjoyable and easy to understand. My son found it easy to pronounce Lottie and Dottie but not me! It doesn’t quite roll off the tongue for me! Mr K who is 6 years old was comfortable reading the book which is on par for it being a blue Early Reader.

I like that at the back of the book, it shows you how to grow your carrots. Have you grown anything with your children? We have! We have been trying to grow green beans and sunflowers! Fingers crossed that it will be growing green shoots soon!

The Author – Claire, has been gardening since she was a child and is now one of the UK’s top gardening bloggers. Her YouTube channel has had over 1 million views with over 4,000 regular subscribers. Watch her reading part of the story on her YouTube channel.

Disclosure: I received this book from the publisher for free. However, they have not paid me for this review, and they do not exercise any editorial control over my review or anything else on this site.
