Betty and the Mysterious Visitor
by Anne Twist, Emily Sutton (Illustrator)

5 out of 5 stars

Betty loves to visit her grandmother in the country. They get to work in the community garden and harvest berries to make jam. But one morning they discover that something has destroyed part of the garden, digging up the grass and flowers and plants. Betty stays up late to spy out her window and she sees a badger digging up the garden looking for food. Betty comes up with a plan to scare off the badger and save the garden!

This is such a cute book! I love that Betty wants to safeguard all the plants and animals in the garden, and she really cherishes her time with her grandmother. It’s a delight to see the garden through her eyes.

The illustrations are so pretty and colorful! You really get a sense of energy from the garden as all the growing things are pushing up and blossoming. Beautiful! And grandma’s house looks so cozy. It probably smells like cinnamon and cookies.
