Leafy Green's Adventures
A Woodland Tale of Friendship and Magic
Step through the garden gate and into a secret world where magic is real and woodland friends are waiting...
Bianca and Georgia love visiting their Granny, but the real adventure begins at the bottom of her garden. Beyond the gate lies a magical woodland where they meet Leafy Green, a kind-hearted elf with pointy ears and a habit of sticking his finger in his ear when he thinks.
With a little help from the Queen of Seasons, the girls are magically shrunk to Leafy's size and welcomed into the world of the woodland folk. They befriend Sammy the hedgehog, Busby the rabbit, and Morris the wise old owl. But the woods hold dangers too, like the sneaky Dapper Fox and Moggi Cat! In these two enchanting stories, "Meeting Leafy Green" and "Leafy's New Home," the cousins must learn the rules of the woodland, keep secrets from grown-ups, and work together with their new animal friends to outsmart trouble and ensure everyone gets home safely.
