Reviews
'As endorsements go, I think the best comes from one of the children in my After School Book Club: "Miss Cleveland, THAT IS DISGUSTING! Can I have a closer look please?"' Miss Cleveland Is Reading; 'This book is a very funny and uniquely styled read; however, the magic is really how the world of fantasy and real-life gardening have been merged together to put an exceptional spin on encouraging children to grow their own vegetables.'
