> The types of scenarios in cheerful children's literature feel charming,

> In context, I found them useful even thru 90s to share values of those

> ex _The Green Thumb Story_ of 1952 is a wonderful view of childhood
> simplicity as a child learns of his ability to master growing plants.
> But the lesson he is taught is the need for fertilizer from a bag, and
> removing as invader anything other than his flowers (although he does
> interplant 2 types of flowers.) It ends with his reveling in mastery of
> a lifetime skill of "helping green plants grow." Read with _The Midas
> Touch_ as the next story, interesting dialogs ensue. But alone, I can't
> decide to pitch it. It won't be kept as great literature. If it were put
> in a library it would be discarded as not read any more. Yet I feel it
> holds important story.
