I like it because of the animals. I think other people would like it too.

I like the different animals and shapes. Sometimes you can see the night gardener and he teaches the boy how to garden.

Visually stunning and a sprinkling of magic. Fiction text about someone who creates incredible topiary to boost a miserable town.
Great for Y2, used for discussions between characters.

The Fan Brothers hooked me with their beautiful imagery and I'm glad that I stayed to discover the story's simple but powerful message - the impact that art, creativity, and innovation has on the community - a little inspiration goes a long way!

I thought that it was brilliant!!

I would like the whole world to read it.

My favorite bit was when the book got bright and colourful, because that was the best part.

My favorite tree design was the dragon, it was the most brilliant of all!

I enjoyed it when they added the colours to the pictures, because everyone in the story was happy.

My favorite design on the trees was the cat.

I would recommend this book to somebody else.

This book is great. We read it at school this week. It takes place in Grimlock Lane with William who is an orphan. Everyday he finds a new piece of topiary and the village grows happier and happier. Before this the village was a very dull and despondent place. My favourite character was the night gardener.
