Prickletrims Go Wild (The)
by Marie Dorleans
Age Range: 6-8
The Prickletrims have a pristine garden. Everything is exact with razor-straight edges, a meticulously measured lawn and impeccably shaped topiary. They are proud of their garden as long as it is managed to perfection. However, one day their exasperated, long-suffering gardener decides he can no longer cope and leaves. As a result, something extraordinary happens. The Prickletrims’ garden, released from its restrictions breaks free and the family find themselves forced to embrace the wildness of nature.
This is a quirky and funny picture book by award-winning French author and illustrator Marie Dorléans, translated by Polly Lawson is another celebration of nature like her exquisite The Night Walk (2020). The gorgeous hand-drawn multi-media artwork using a graphite pencil and finished using digital media go from lines and patterns in grey hues to a wonderful vibrancy as the garden explodes into colour.
