THE ADVENTURES OF ARCHIE ARTICHOKE: BOOK 2

A Garden's Search
for Water

A Garden’s Search for Water takes children to a beautiful garden where a dynamic group of vegetables lives with their engaging leader, Archie Artichoke.

In this adventure, Archie and his friends hike to a distant garden, where the vegetables there have lost their source of water and many have become ill. During their search for answers, the veggie friends find that a spirited group of forest animals have caused the water to stop flowing. It’s up to Archie and his friends to convince them to change their ways; but how will they do it?

All of the Archie Artichoke series books are written specifically to help children develop their imagination through visual imaging text and dialogue complemented with full color illustrations.

And besides being fun to read, A Garden’s Search for Water is designed to teach children about:

Accomplishing a difficult task and solving problems;


  • Working with others to achieve a common goal;
  • The importance of water for life;
  • Caring, helping others, friendship; and
  • The names of many important vegetables!


A Garden’s Search for Water is the second book in The Adventures of Archie Artichoke chapter book series written about a remarkable garden of vegetables. As with all the Archie Artichoke books, many colorful illustrations are placed throughout the story to enhance its narrative.

Because A Garden’s Search for Water is relatively long for a young children’s story, it is designed to be read over several days/nights. The age group for the Adventures of Archie Artichoke series is between three and nine years old. The narrative is designed to be read to a child, and third-grade children will delight in reading the books on their own.
