The Unwelcome Guest!
Illustrated by Emily Sutton
What is destroying grandmother’s garden? One morning as Betty and grandmother are leaving, they see that a lot of Acorn Hollows, the garden, has been dug up during the night.
Her grandmother grows many things there such as blueberries, strawberries, and more, that she makes into jams. When Betty visits, she helps her grandmother make and sell them.
Betty wants to figure out what is digging up Acorn Hollows before her grandmother’s berries are next, and her favorite place to play is destroyed.
Youngsters will adore the story of visiting a loving grandmother, and the special things they do together. Children will like thinking about the mystery of what is happening in Acorn Hollows, along with what Betty does.
Grandmother’s village, home, and garden illustrations are enchanting, and make this five-star book a treat for the eyes. This picture book is hard-backed and over-sized. Children ages three to eight-years-old will enjoy this special book, and I highly recommend it.
