The Curious Garden by Peter Brown
reviewed by Losgunna Blue, age 11
Do you think that one boy can start a garden that
changes a whole city? Well, Liam can! Liam was
different from a lot of people in that city. He loved to
be outside. One day, in an unusual spot, he found
some little plants and began to take care of them.
Liam wasn't a gardener, but he figured out what the
plants needed. Even though winter came, that didn't
stop Liam from getting ready for spring. But don't
think he did it by himself, his garden inspired
everyone to help. And soon there were all kinds of
extraordinary gardens sprouting up on rooftops,
walls, windows, and railroad tracks over the whole
city!
This picture book was written and illustrated by one
person, Peter Brown. The pictures are very nice,
they have detail and color, and I could look at them
all night. It is a book you wish you had hanging on
your wall. I like the plot because it is about a city that
was dull and one curious gardener changed it all.
There are gardens all over!
