25th Anniversary Edition Linnea has been in Paris. And she has visited the painter Claude Monet's garden! She even stood on the same little Japanese bridge that Monet painted so often in his pictures. In Paris, Linnea got to see many of the real paintings. Now she can understand what it means to be called an Impressionist, and she knows a lot about Monet's life in the pink house where he lived with his eight children. Twenty-five years after its original publication, this celebration of the wonder of art is available once again in an enlarged keepsake edition. The joy and inspiration Linnea discovers in Monet's garden will be eagerly embraced by a new generation of readers. "Original and charming."―New Yorker

Casterman Editions

Linnea has written her own almanac, where she keeps track of her indoor and outdoor activities all year round.\nIn January, she opens a bird restaurant on her windowsill; in March, she finds the first spring flower; in July, she goes beach combing (and finds a message in a bottle); and in December, she makes her own Christmas presents.\nHer neighbor Mr. Brush takes Linnea along to his little country house, where she plants flowers and harvests vegetables, and her friend Mr. Bloom explains why leaves change colors in the fall.\nLinnea also finds time to teach her readers how to dry and press flowers; how to make rhubarb compote; how to build a kit or weave a crown of autumn leaves; and how to recognize the Big Dipper in the night sky.\nFilled with exciting ideas and with Linnea's usual energy and enthusiasm, Linnea's Almanac is guaranteed to teach everyone else something new.

Linnea loves plants. She grows them all over her room - in pots, and crates, even in glass jars. In this book, she takes you on a tour of her indoor garden. She tells you about her orange tree (and plantable pits and seeds, including melons, tomatoes, and grapes); she shows you how to take a cutting from a Busy Lizzie and how to trim an avocado plant. And she teaches you what keeps plants satisfied: the art of watering properly (plants don't like standing with their feet in water) and fertilizing. And what to do when plants are attacked by whiteflies or other nasty bugs. Linnea also makes garden-cress cheese (from homegrown cress, of course); discusses the pleasures and possible pitfalls of growing an amaryllis; and writes a plant newspaper, The Green Gazette. Linnea's Windowsill Garden will informs and inspire anyone who wants to grow an indoor garden of their own.

Vendela has long been fascinated by Venice, where the streets are canals, the cars are boats, and the houses are palaces. Finally her father takes her on a special spring trip to the city, which turns out to be every bit as fairy-tale-like as he has promised. Vendela visits her special friends, the four golden horses in St. Mark's Basilica. She hunts winged lions, meets a terrible dragon, and explores colorful candy stores and samples almond-syrup milk. But there are more floods in Venice every year. Will it still be there when Vendela grows up? As did Linnea in Monet's Garden, Vendela in Venice offers a wonderful introduction to the excitement of travel, art, and culture. Inga-Karin Eriksson's lovingly detailed illustrations of Venice will fire the imaginations of young readers and their parents whether they read the book at home or take it along on a trip to Italy.
