Mouse & Mole and the Year-Round Garden

By Doug Cushman

Book Overview

The inhabitants of Redwall relax in the haze of summer-but as they do, the neighboring stronghold of Salamandastron lies besieged by the evil weasel army of Ferhago the Assassin. Worse still, Mara, beloved daughter of Urthstripe, Badger Lord of the Fire Mountain, is in terrible danger. Then a lightning bolt uncovers the sword of Martin the Warrior, and young Samkin embarks on an adventure that leads him to Mara. Can the good creatures triumph over the villainous Assassin?

Customer Reviews

Great for teaching about nature, friendship and the seasons!

We got this out of the library and loved it so much that we purchased a copy and are now looking for other similar books. Mouse goes to visit his friend Mole in the spring, and mole is about to plant a garden. Together, they tend it all year long, and also have fun doing other "seasonal" activities while waiting for their plants to grow (such as hiking, camping, picking apples, sledding in the winter, etc.). It teaches about how things grow, also about the change of seasons and what activities to do each season. My 3 year old loves it! For slightly older kids, you can also read the separate boxes along the bottom of each page which explain complexities of nature such as how rain and compost form, how a fruit grows from a flower, what happens to plants and animals in the winter). These separate boxes on each page correlate to the events occurring in the story on that page. Fantastic book!
