The Biggest Carrot Excerpt:
A warm breeze whistled through the trees outside Dragon’s cave. Hearing the relaxing melody, Dragon smiled and stepped out. The sun warmed Dragon’s skin, and just as Dragon began to feel a little too hot, the gentle breeze cooled Dragon back down. Dragon sat down and relaxed. It was a beautiful day. Dragon took a deep breath, in and out, enjoying the weather. Then Dragon remembered the garden and wondered how it was growing. Dragon decided to go for a visit and hopped up to go to the park.
Dragon wondered if any of the kids would be there. Hoping to see some friends, Dragon walked quickly. After all, it was already the afternoon and if the kids were at the park, they would have to go home pretty soon. Laughter flowed into the forest, carried on the breeze and Dragon smiled. The kids were at the garden. Dragon hurried to the garden listening carefully to guess who was there.
First, Dragon heard a cheerful voice. Dragon guessed that was Mia. An excited but nervous sounding voice followed. Dragon guessed that was Ian. Then Dragon heard an encouraging voice, and guessed that was Max. The last voice Dragon heard was a calm soothing voice. Dragon guessed that was Mike. Dragon skipped out of the forest pretty sure who would be there. And there they were right by the garden. Dragon waved, hurrying over to them.

It’s Ian and Mike’s turn to check on the community garden and it has really changed since they saw it last.

How Does Our Garden Grow? Excerpt:
Fluffy clouds drifted across the morning sky as the sun looked for an opening to shine down. It found that opening and sent a cozy sunbeam through Ian’s window. Ian felt the warmth and smiled. His eyes fluttered open and he sat up. Today was his day to check on the garden and he felt curious to see how the plants were doing.
After he dressed, Ian hurried downstairs to eat breakfast. As he ate he kept watching the time. Mike could be there any minute and he didn’t want to be late.
Seeing Ian shoveling his food down, Ian’s dad said, “Slow down, buddy. If Mike gets here early, he’ll wait for you. Let’s take a deep dragon breath.”
Ian really wanted to keep eating, but he knew his dad was right. So, he took a deep dragon breath, in and out, and felt a bit more relaxed. Ian had enough time to finish his breakfast and help his dad do the dishes before Mike got there.
As they finished putting the last clean dish away the doorbell rang. Ian hurried to the door and pulled it open. Waiting there, with a big smile, was Mike.
“Are you ready to see what is growing in our garden?” Mike asked.
