The Little Gardener Hardcover – Picture Book, 3 July 2018

So many things to say about this seemingly simple little book. The illustrations are gorgeous with so much detail; my 5 year old loves pointing out that the worm has his own family at the end which is only alluded to in minute detail in the illustrations. The subtle messages about your actions however small, can enormously impact others which can change the whole world. I really is magical and as a parent who reads literally hundreds of books to my child this is one of my personal favourites.

This is such a thoughtful and thought-provoking book, full of insight and sensitivity. My grand-daughter's response to the little gardener of the title was immediate and warmly empathetic.The messages here are so many... hope, hard work, love of beauty, determination, joy, working together, community... All communicated without judgement or moralising... just through witnessing what happens.The Little Gardener is a joy!

Bought this because I loved Emily Hughes other book Wild. This is quite different but similar in that it takes a character and lets them be. I love how empathetic her books are. And the illustrations are gorgeous. She writes books you can read over and over again.

This book is a beautifully illustrated treasury, with a heartwarming story at the centre of it. Each page is full of intriguing details that reveal something new each time that any young reader will enjoy time after time.

I enjoyed reading this to my grandson but I find that it's not one that we go back to again and again. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't think it was as magical as other reviewers made it out to be. Having said that, the illustrations and gorgeous, if a bit dark, and I like the gardening theme.

I adore this story and the illustrations. My 1 yr old points to images of the Little Gardener too. I will be reading this story to her for a long time.

Gorgeous little story that we used with our younger children in school. Beautiful illustrations, too.Arrived promptly and well packaged. Thank you.

A beautifully illustrated book with a touching story. The pages are full of interest, with great little touches helping to keep you engaged with the tale.

Bought this for my preschooler for Easter since we’ve been working in our own garden lately. The illustrations are lovely and detailed. He is going to be so excited to see that it is a boy gardener. Lovely story and message. The story itself is a bit short, but the book is still amazing.

Hermoso! Es mi segundo libro de Emily Hughes y nunca me arrepiento. Hay mucho que ver, la historia es conmovedora.

I bought this intending to give it to my granddaughter at Christmas along with others that I've been collecting, but today I brought it out and showed it to her. She's only one year old but she is very interested in books, and she liked the pictures and the simple story. As she gets older, I 'm sure she'll be even more interested in the beautiful artwork. This is a lovely book. So many books have beautiful pictures but trite story lines, but this one is perfect and it meets my high standards! Highly recommend. Great book for settling a little child down before bedtime.

das großformatige Bilderbuch ist ein klasse Buch mit wirklich großartigen Zeichnungen und einer liebevollen Geschichte, zum immer-wieder Vorlesen, Kinderliebling! ...ganz toll!

Las ilustraciones son bonitas, aunque un poco repetitivas. La historia, inexistente, con una pseudo-moraleja. A mí no me ha gustado, le falta "sustancia", pero es mi opinión. Hasta cuatro años. Para niños mayores, no.
