Cate and the Garden Bandits is a charming children’s book with cute, expressive illustrations. The book’s layout and font feel friendly, informal, and fun. The colours and drawings feel alive and draw your eye immediately. The flowers in the magic garden keep losing their petals. Cate and her friends, Pete Potato Bug, Davey Dung Beetle, and Walter the Earthworm don’t know why. Cate discovers a bumblebee with the petals. She follows him. Is she in danger? Why has he taken the petals? What will Cate learn? The helpful 32-page book teaches young children about stopping to learn more before judging others, trying to understand others and their actions, being tolerant, friendship, teamwork and how we all have a different, but equally important role to play in the world. The book also has a useful 2-page glossary of new words relating to the story, explained in a child-friendly way. Children from about 3 to 10 years old will love this insect tale!
