Description
The Prickletrims love nature. They have a perfect yard. All the flowers are lined up in tidy rows. The grass is kept trimmed to a specific height. The branches of trees are a certain distance apart, and they are chosen for having appropriately shaped leaves. Yes, the Prickletrims loved nature as long as it was neat and tidy. But one day, the gardener has had enough of his controlling clients, and he quits.
The Prickletrims aren’t gardeners. The plants burst forth and grow wildly all around them, taking over their lives. And the Prickletrims learn to love the strange and wild plants and creatures that have taken over. But summer ends, and it is time to return to school and work, so they have the garden hauled away—or do they?
Author and illustrator Marie Dorléans has created a whimsical world for her quaint characters. The story shows the characters growing and changing as their garden grows and changes. The real star of the book is the illustrations which are filled with fun details that will keep young readers fully engaged with the story. This is more fun than you can imagine.
