The most wonderful illustrations! Have had my eye on this for a while and am very pleased we finally got it. My 10 year old daughter wanted to go draw after reading it to a younger sibling.

I loved this story and the pictures are amazing and colourful
4.0 out of 5 stars Spoiler-free: A fun story with such beautiful illustrations, but ended in a way I didn't expect
This is a fun and beautifully illustrated book. Betty loves spending time with her grandma at her cottage and she especially loves spending time in Acorn Hollows, the garden behind her grandma's house which is shared by the local community. But one day when she wakes up she finds the garden outside has been messed up, something has been digging at the grass and destroying the flowers. Betty is determined to find out who is responsible, but when she does, how will she stop them destroying more of the garden? This hardback is larger than A4 in size and is filled with thick matt pages of text and beautiful illustrations.The story is a fun one with Betty enjoying quality time at her grandma's home, both in Acorn Hollows and spending time helping her grandma sell jam at the local market made from the berries grown in the garden. But when the mysterious animal visitor comes and starts digging in the garden Betty worries that it'll destroy the berries, so she devises a plan to get rid of it. I like how this story goes in a way I wasn't expecting. The story is a mix of rhyming and not and I did enjoy the parts that rhymed especially. The book is filled with so many lovely illustrations and I do believe these make the story so much more appealing.I've come to really love Emily Sutton's illustrations style, and in fact she might just be my favourite children's book illustrator. Every page is a joy to look at with so many beautiful and colourful images and so much to see on each page. I love how Betty and her grandma look and all the details you can see in each double page. Illustrations like the one at the market or the end pages have so much to see that you can spend a long time just looking at the pictures alone, they are that enchanting.The story has a good and satisfying ending, although I did expect the story to finish in a different way than it did. I don't want to spoil it by giving away the ending, but I will say that I thought Betty would befriend the visitor rather than do what she did to stop it digging up the garden. It did make it feel like the story could have had a slightly better ending, although it's just a minor thing and doesn't take away from the fun of the tale, which if it rhymed all the way through would have felt even better to me as a part rhyming and part not book is something I'm not really used to.-Thanks to Walker Books for a free copy.
