Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. A colourful illustrated story about Elliot and his dad growing their own vegetables to make a delicious soup and finding that a gardening adventure involves more than welly boots and sowing seeds. Digging for treasure, pirates, a friendly neighbour and hordes of wildlife intent on eating the crops. All for a small pot of broth Dad suggests that Elliot can help in the garden to grow what they need to make a big pot of broth. Elliot, (aided by his mum, big sister and brother), sets out enthusiastically to give his dad assistance clad, of course, in his welly boots, just like a proper gardener.But Elliots good intentions begin to go astray as his imagination takes over from garden duties. Digging in the back garden leads to finding all sort of treasure, and he is soon picturing himself as a Victorian Gent complete with watch chain, a Roman Centurion, and a Pictish warrior. Helping Dad build the raised beds, Elliot becomes a pirate walking the plank.Weeds? These are dinosaur food. As the shoots begin to grow, they have hopes and dreamsfor a bumper harvest. And when the beans begin to sprout, Elliot pictures himself climbing a giant beanstalk.Elliot discovers the nest of a field-mouse, and when Robert Burns is duly quoted, we realise that the best laid schemes o mice an men gang aft agley. As the garden flourishes, we discover that a variety of wildlife is just as interested in eating what is growing all around, as Elliot is.Perhaps this gardening project will not quite go according to plan To protect his crops from being is being eaten by the local birds, mice and rabbits, Elliot bravely volunteers to stand guard overnight in his homemade tent. Armed with his torch and a flask of cocoa, he soon finds the spooky noises of the evening send his imagination soaring again. The distant hooting owl, the cry of the fox, the cat rustling in the undergrowth even the fluttering bats quickly see him run for safety indoors.However with the garden protected by nets and windmills to scare off crows, the crops recover a little. The family harvest what is left to make the soup, including tiny beetroot, some thin-looking leeks and some wonky-shaped carrots. Theyll be fine once theyre chopped up and in the broth! declares Dad. Instead of the huge pot of broth that Elliot had imagined,there is just enough to fill their smallest pot. Dad remains upbeat: Well, its enough to give everyone a taste.However the day is saved by their next-door green-thumbed neighbour, who comes to rescue with an armful of carrots and leeks from her own garden. The family then gets busy cleaning the vegetables, chopping and stirring. The big pot is needed after all and Elliot sits down at last to enjoy his home-grown broth. A colourful illustrated story about Elliot and his dad growing their own vegetables to make a delicious soup and finding that a gardening adventure involves more than welly boots and sowing seeds. Digging for treasure, pirates, a friendly neighbour and hordes of wildlife intent on eating the crops.
