Book Synopsis

"A little kindness goes a long way" is the subtle moral depicted in this gentle tale by award-winning Australian author-illustrator Bob Graham.

A brand-new edition of the classic story from Bob Graham.

All the children are afraid of mean Mr Wintergarten. His garden is grey and sunless and it is guarded, they say, by a dog like a wolf and a saltwater crocodile. By contrast, the garden of his sunny new neighbours, the Summers, is a playground of happiness and flowers. One day, Rose's ball goes over the fence into Mr Wintergarten's garden and, prompted by her mother, Rose visits her frosty next-door neighbour, bearing hot fairy cakes and flowers. What will Mr Wintergarten say?
