This beautifully illustrated book introduces Planet Venesha and it's inhabitants, most importantly, Mordokai
Mordokai and his friends capture the imaginations of readers young and old. Join them as they wander a colorful, thriving landscape inhabited by all sorts of weird and wonderful creatures.
Mordokai lives on Venesha, the largest planet in the universe. Even though the planet's terrain does not resemble Earth's color scheme, Venesha still has mountains, rivers, oceans, swamps, deserts, and plains. This planet also contains wildlife, but again, the alien animals do not resemble ours. They have two-headed snakes, with each head sporting one eye. Birds possess three eyes. Then there are cute but odd-looking bunny-like creatures. Most fascinating was the black and pink animal with the features of a dragon and two tails.
The wildlife wasn't the only peculiar-looking being calling Venesha home. Mordokai had tiny wings on his head and a long tail. Even though his appearance was only something you see at cosplay or comic con events, he did have one thing in common with Earthlings: he needed substance. Instead of pizza or a juicy burger, Mordokai craved a carrot for not just today's meal but every meal. Without the funds to buy the root vegetable, he decided to plant a garden. Planting a garden is an excellent outdoor activity for children. It teaches children responsibility, encourages them to eat more nutritious foods, and getting fresh air's always a great idea.
Mordokai gives young readers a brief overview of what they could plant, but there are many more options. I recommend you share Mordokai Plants A Garden with your child and start your own garden. Big. Small. Fruits. Vegetables. Herbs. Work together to build a garden that fits your family's tastes and introduces new foods and spices into your child's life.
I recommend Mordokai Plants A Garden by Lamar Golden for children two years and older. It houses bright, beautiful illustrations (artist: Izzy Eban) and prompts children to put down their electronics, go outside, and get back to nature.
Stay tuned for Mordokai's adventure when he goes searching for strawberries.
