What happens when Mum is in the garden tidying up, but the children just want to play? The humorous illustrations show two boys creating mayhem in the garden as they play in sand, leaves, grass and mud while Mum works on, all unaware, and provide lots of discussion points. A story map at the end helps children recap and remember.
