This book seems like a great educational and fun children's book. The story has a lot of good themes and kids can learn about plants and herbs as well. Younger readers will also be entertained by the illustrations in the book. Congratulations on making botd!

It appears Adele likes farming so much. I'm very curious to find out how she revives her new garden, and how she makes friends along the way.
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

I'm not sure if this book is for me, as I'm much older than the recommended audience. However, I've often found that movies and books made for children are actually far more interesting. Their creativity and thought-provoking concepts always intrigue me, and I can't wait to read this one!

Adele's new home is filled with lots of adventures. Adele is on a task to revive her garden and bring it back to its glory. I loved the outline of the story which is filled with educational tips on helping the environment. Thanks for the review. Congrats on the BOTD!

In every situation, we are always given the opportunity to learn new things and I'm glad Adele did that when she got to her new environment.

It seems that this book is not fast paced and filled with a lot of action. Personally, I won't really enjoy reading it. You have provided an insightful review. Thank you!

I love reading books for children, for the fact that these books mostly serve as a learning resource as much as they keep them entertained. The reviewer have mentioned that there are picture illustrations in the book, I found that as a perfect thing to always include in children books. Pictures make books more interesting.

The book sounds interesting and educational in serious topics, so I believe it is a very good choice for children. Unfortunately, despite the promise of a free book, it is unavailable for some regions, and I wasn't able to download it. Anyway, congratulations with BOTD!

:tiphat: Children will easily fall in love with nature after learning about Adele's adventures in the garden. I like how Polly Richard's illustrate the plants and flowers in the garden, how it accommodates both kids and parents.
I'll give 5 out of 5 to the writer and recommend it to every parents who would like to help their children grow in nature. :idea: :techie-studyingbrown:

I like how relevant the book's themes are. There is no better time to learn environmental consciousness than from a person's childhood.
