Yes, I did read this book because it had a lawn gnome and a flamingo on the cover, wouldn't you?
Lawn to Lawn is the story of Pearl's lawn decorations and their quest to get back to Pearl when her family moves but forgets to take some very important friends. It's silly but a great story about the power of love and perseverance. Throughout the course of the book, the decorations are given many opportunities to find a new home as they make new friends on their journey. But each time they think of their best friend Pearl and they keep going.
Kids will love
Dan Yaccarino's illustrations (and will probably love this book even more if they know that Yaccarino is involved with shows such as
The Backyardigans and
Oswald). There are plenty of fun moments that show the decorations trying (emphasis on trying) to blend when they are surrounded by people. I love when children's writers find new perspectives to write from. I would never have thought to write a book from the point of view of lawn decorations, but what a fun book this idea has become!
Happy Reading!
