When there’s a cockroach outbreak in the town of Cornville, only one man is as cool as a cucumber.Mr Griffs isn’t at all fazed by the cockroaches – not when he has a garden full of cucumbers. When news of his alternative remedy gets out, Mr Griffs is faced with an angry mob. Led by Steve Moran, Mr Griffs’ arch nemesis, the cucumber thieves will stop at nothing to get what they want. Mr Griffs is forced to put aside his scientific research on wild bush turkeys and must do whatever is necessary to protect his flowerbeds, his garden, his house and his friends. Even if it means teaching Steve a lesson or two and setting the local council straight.‘Yes, the rumours are true. I do have home grown cucumbers and their skins deter cockroaches. They’re also quite delicious, if I do say so myself. You can pickle them, put them in salads or even just eat them whole.’

A mixture of art, photography, and large, clear type introduces children to the correlation between textures, tastes, and appearances of fruits and vegetables. Printed on heavy-duty card stock and hand-stitched to ensure maximum longevity, these stunning books go far beyond just naming familiar foods. Each displays a clear photograph of the food against a dramatic painted background. Upon opening the full-page foldout of the fruit or vegetable, kids can distinguish which are hot and spicy, cool and smooth, or sweet and juicy.
