Renee Treml's new picture book

Congrats to Renee Treml on the September release of

The Great Garden Mystery

Published by Random House Australia

isbn  9780857984166
for ages 3 - 7

Someone is stealing the beetroots - who could that someone be? Join us in the garden and we'll unravel this mystery. A mix of clever Australian animals examine the evidence, but can this cluey cast catch the thief before he strikes again? Beautifully illustrated to delight both young and older readers.

Renee's launch:
Sun, 24th August at 10am
The Avid Reader bookshop,
West End, Brisbane.

Looks delightful - bound to be a winner!
