When Timo signs up for the Great, Green Garden Tour, he feels pressure
to make his garden "great" and neglects his friends to work in it. When
his friends help him avoid a disaster, he realizes his friendships are
more important than pride in his garden
At first, the Great, Green Garden Tour sounds like a lot of fun. Before
long, though, young rabbit Timo starts to find that it's a lot of
pressure. Can he really call his garden "great?" Maybe it needs one
little change...or a few...or a lot.
Anxious to make his garden measure up, Timo forgets to take time out for
anyone else. Luckily, his friends know just how to remind him of the
value of being there for others: by being there for him when he needs it
most.
In musical prose filled with word play and whimsy, Victoria Allenby
invites young readers to come along as Timo sets to work with a skip and
a song, meets trouble with a sniff and a sigh, and triumphs with a smile
that's as bright as the sun. Dean Griffiths' charming illustrations are
both classic and fresh, infusing each animal character with personality
and life. Complete with an illustrated glossary of flowers, this
beautifully-designed early reader might just be worthy of the word
"great."
