Abstract:
Reviewed by: Plant a Little Seed Hope Morrison Christensen, Bonnie . Plant a Little Seed; written and illus. by Bonnie Christensen. Porter/Roaring Brook, 2012. [32p]. ISBN 978-1-59643-550-6 $17.99 Reviewed from galleys R 4-7 yrs. On a snowy winter day, two friends—a tow-headed girl and an African-American boy—page through a seed catalog and dream of their future garden. Come spring, they get to work, planting and caring for their vegetables. The plants continue to grow until it is autumn and time for the harvest, and the story ends with a Thanksgiving table weighed down with the fruits (and vegetables) of the kids' labors. Christensen's ode to vegetable gardening employs rhythmic cadence and careful repetition to capture the anticipation and excitement of growing plants from seeds; the children don't just wait but "water and wait and wait and dream . . . and dream and wait some more." Gardening facts are occasionally interwoven into the story and illustrations ("Some plants grow up, some grow down, some grow fast, some grow slowly"), and the narrative is alive with sensory details, from vivid descriptions of the plants and flowers, to the sounds ("Our garden sings with buzzing bees, with rustling leaves and cawing crows, with gentle rain and whirring wings") and tastes ("When the fruit's the perfect size we munch it warm right off the vine, sweet and sharp upon our tongues, we hold the taste of summertime"). The painted woodblock illustrations offer vibrant depictions of the growing garden, and the textures add an organic appeal; occasional seeds are sprinkled throughout the pages for further visual interest. A page of facts about gardens and gardening is appended. Copyright © 2012 The Board of Trustees of the University of IllinoisCite

Twenty-five years ago I had a dream, a daydream, if you will. A dream shared with many of you. I dreamed of a special kind of computer, which had eyes and ears and arms and legs, in addition to its brain. I did not dream that this new computer friend would be a means of making money for me or my employer or a help for my country - though I loved my country then and still do, and I have no objection to making money. I did not even dream of such a worthy cause as helping the poor and handicapped of the world using this marvelous new machine. No, my dream was filled with the wild excitement of seeing a machine act like a human being, at least in many ways.

Dream has a rich expression and an important value of the creation of the literature,Therefore,the dream has always been a favor to scholars of all ages,They often described dream by the works or built the content of the works by the form of the dream.However,the majority dreams of literature are not really dream records,but the products of conscious awareness creation,Thus the dreams of literature are more reality than the real dreams or beyond the reality to the contemporary society.
