Customer Reviews

Cute and very entertaining book

My 8-year-old Daughter and 6-year-old Son both love this book. They had a blast trying to guess what type of animal was eating different things in the garden. The book is really cute and the full-page color illustrations are very nice. I think that most young kids would really enjoy this book.

great story about discoveries in your garden

There are so many animals in these siblings' garden. We see the clues they leave behind to figure out who has been there before the children. The illustrations are very detailed and accurate, and quite lovely. I liked that both a boy and girl were in the book to make this a perfect book for boys and girls. And that you get to flip the page to find out who the culprit is in each case. This is a great book for recognizing some signs that creatures might be in your garden when you aren't looking.
