Reviews

"A freshly minted fable...alliterative adventure that may be set in a garden, but is anything but garden-variety." -- Kirkus Review "An interesting combination of realistically rendered backgrounds and insect bodies with faces drawn in the style of Dr. Seuss." -- School Library Journal "Children will enjoy the well-told story and Cole's large-scale, child-friendly artwork." -- ALA Booklist
