For there is a time to be wild and a time to be mild.

Come peer between blades of grass at the secret lives of a garden’s tiniest inhabitants, revealed in lyrical vignettes and charming illustrations.What may appear to be an abandoned garden is actually home to an unusual array of insects. Meet a ladybug who prefers making mud angels to acting like a lady, a roly-poly bug who loves to roll (“wa-hoo!”), a cricket who dreams of grand adventures, and a whole neighborhood of bugs gazing up at a fireworks show of flowers bursting into bloom. These inviting vignettes are sure to have readers seeing bugs in a whole new light.

A perfect story to read curled up by the fire with a friend. (Jeanne Willis, author of The Bog Baby, on Bear and Bird). Bear and Bird are best friends. They live together in the middle of a beautiful forest. Bear and Bird have been planning an adventure all day - but when Frog turns up unannounced, Bear is so excited he forgets all about Bird.

The adorable follow up to Bear and Bird is the perfect gift for toddlers. Little ones aged two and up will love the story of an unlikely friendship. Perfect for kids who enjoyed Monkey and the Little One. Gwen Millward was born in Hitchin, England, but was brought up and went to school in Wales.
