The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments! 

Jim Jordan's family was so helpful with Jim's vegetable garden that there was nothing for Jim to do. But he was willing to wait. And indeed, his family soon lost interest in the slow-sprouting seeds, and Jim's garden became really his.

Then suddenly it looked as though there would be no garden, for there was nothing left except one tiny plant. But even one small cabbage can make a garden if you are willing to help. And Jim was willing.

As the summer progressed, the cabbage grew bigger and healthier. A toad and a snail made their homes under its broad leaves, and a young rabbit lived nearby. Jim watched and waited and worked, and the summer went on.
