Lawn to Lawn
By Dan Yaccarino
(Alfred A. Knopf, 2010)
Wacky Wednesday is when the yard ornaments take off on a journey to find their missing girl, Pearl.
Only Pearl knows that the lawn ornaments are real. When Pearl's family moves to Ritzy Estates, her friends are left behind. Using a dropped map, the lawn friends follow Pearl. Along the way, several tempting new residences lure the lawn ornament friends to stop and stay. But at the mention of Pearl, each remembers the goal.
The enemy? The garbage truck. If a lawn ornament is found by the curb, alas, it disappears for all times.
In Lawn to Lawn, lawn ornament friends face danger and excitement to find Pearl. The garbage truck surprise ending is a clever twist on how to solve a huge problem.
Readers will laugh at the flamingo, troll, deer, and jockey lawn ornaments as they complete their quest. Does your child know what a lawn ornament is?
