About the author

Beth Shoshan was born in Brighton. She never seemed destined to be 
a children's writer, after all she 
had failed English Composition.
 But everything changed when she
 was challenged by Meadowside 
to write the most inappropriate
 children's book imaginable - it
 should contain sweets, explosions 
and arcane English words. She 
did, and Smidge became an instant 
best-seller. Now with over 30 titles 
to her name, Beth has become one
 of the most successful children's
 authors of the past few years.

Reviews

[Kathi]

Daughter's favorite book of all time!

[Liz]

Nothing but a repeat of the first book, but still so fun and cute I don't care!

[Shallowreader VaVeros]

The mess monsters turn the garden inside out which helps it grow. Lovely, rhythmic read.

[Marc Lucke]

This ode to a well-kept garden features cute illustrations and pleasant, lilting text.

[Jeani]

Cute illustrations.
