Well this book was something, it has talking animals and plants. My kids just loved the fact that the animals could talk. This book shows how not only want thing or person is responsible for one thing, they are many roles to every aspect of life. The animals argue over who the garden belong to but in it all it belong to them all. They all play a part in making the garden possible so they all own it. At the end the old lady still didn't know who the garden was for but my kids did, some said the gardener but most said it's for all them, that they have to share. ( )
