Ginger’s First Garden
How shall we read?
Reading settings
Ginger the cat planted carrot seeds in his first garden. He could hardly wait.
The next morning, nothing had grown. Ginger picked up his watering can again.
“Seeds need time, sun, and a little water,” said Bessie the cow.
Ginger put the can by the fence. Each morning, he checked the soil and watered it if it felt dry.
A few days later, two green shoots appeared. He called Bessie to see them.
His carrots were small. Now he knew how to help them grow.
