Once again, beloved author Graeme Base introduces readers to a new world. And again, he interweaves the story with hidden images and mathematical problems (and solutions!), creating a book that can be read over and over, and at different levels for different ages.
When Uno arrives in the forest one beautiful day, there are many fascinating and extraordinary animals there to greet himand one entirely unexceptional Snortlepig. Uno loves the forest so much, he decides to live there. But, in time, a little village grows up around his house. Then a town, then a city . . . and soon Uno realizes that the animals and plants have begun to disappear.
Unos Garden is a moving and timely tale about how we all unknowingly affect the environment around us, just by being thereand how we can always learn from our mistakes and find ways of doing things better. It's an illuminating blend of storybook, puzzle book, and math book.
LOVE GRAEME BASE!!! I was fortunate to meet Graeme Base at a book release/signing for Uno's Garden in Tampa. I have loved and owned his books for years, my first being "Sign of the Seahorse". I also have "Animalia", "Jabberwocky", and "The Discovery of Dragons".
All of his books have the most amazing artwork with wonderful stories with worthwhile morals. A wonderful addition to any library - child or adult.
Uno's review This should be in the library of every school. Base has again gifted us with a wonderful book appropriate for all ages and relevent to today's ecological concerns.
Love Base! Not only was the book another masterpiece from Base but my boys LOVED it as did I! One of the best authors for children ever and his illustrations are delicous!
another hit for GB! I fell in love with Graeme Base when I stumbled across Sign of the Seahorse on a bargain clearance table. Since then I have purchased all of his books and as each new one comes out, I add them to our library. I know my girls will want these books for their kids. When I brought home 1 copy of Uno's Garden, my 4 yr old wanted clarification on exactily who the owner of the book was. Now I'm buying in triplicate! The story is sweet, the art is amazing, and the math concepts worked in are an added bonus. Love it!
Delightful illustrations, thoughtful message We are big Graeme Base fans at my house. His illustrations and stories have a lot of depth and imagination. My 5 year-old loved Uno's Garden. He had a great time looking at all the animals and quickly decided on his favorite. The book has a good message about maintaining balance between people and nature and presents the message in a way that even very young children can understand. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves great illustrations and a thought-provoking story.
