Shirley's Imaginarium Series

It is not unusual to find, as we go about our business every day, we forget to pause and admire nature around us.

But I wonder if birds also forget to admire nature around them, as they go about their daily business?

Is it only by pausing and looking at everything, that we can see how beautiful things are around us?

The answers to these questions unravel in this story, as Mr Toad who loves to ponder and notice the world around him, decides to get everyone to do the same.

A Garden Contest to take in the beauty of Shirley's Garden in Spring in Kiama in Australia might sound audacious, but surprisingly, Mr Toad soon discovers that there is more than one way to enjoy the beauty of the garden in Spring.

Book 3 in this Series inspires children to appreciate nature by slowing down, noticing it, and above all, being in it to experience it.

Brimming with pictures of the birds and inanimate objects in a small coastal garden in Australia, Shirley's Imaginarium Series continues to delight readers with meaningful narratives of curious events and quandaries, explored whimsically through Australian fauna and flora.
