Lets us go into the garden and see what kinds of creatures come to visit. First there is a cat "purring in the garden." Next we see a pair of lovely turtles, and after that three dogs can be found "frolicking in the posies." One by one groups of animals come to play, meet, and gather in the garden.

This wonderfully colourful and flower filled counting book will give young children who like gardens and the creatures that can be found in them a great deal to look at and to enjoy.
