"History, science and a guidance lesson all rolled into one, this could surely be the spark for many a school garden." Kirkus Reviews
"This beautifully illustrated story has a mixture of both fiction
 and facts about the life cycle of peas....Teachers will find a 
multitude of ways to use this book and this team's In the Garden with Dr. Carver." School Library Journal
"The first-person narrative relates events and Maya's changing 
perspective in a believably childlike voice, while the 
pencil-and-watercolor illustrations capture the story's tone as well as 
the characters' emotions." Booklist
 "This picture book seamlessly meshes together a little science, a little history, and a strong storyline." Library Media Connection
And the wonderful Jama Rattigan gave space on her blog for this review.
