Editorial Reviews
From Kirkus Reviews
In this bad version of a bad idea, the richly developed classic novel has been squeezed into the picture-book format. Resembling the bald summary of an opera plot, the story in its reduced state is all but a clich: An orphaned girl finds a neglected garden and a neglected cousin and restores them both with the aid of the housemaid's young brother. Collier's full-color paintings take advantage of the opportunities for flora and fauna as the garden responds to cultivation and to the turning seasons, but the children's figures seem pasted into the space, and the scenes lack warmth. (Picture book. 4-8) -- Copyright ©1998, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

Book Description
When orphanedMary Lennox, lonely and sad, comes to live at her uncle's great, empty house, she has nothing to do an no one to play with. Then a friendly robin shows her the way to a mysterious garden that has been locked up for years. Mary is determined to bring the secret garden back to life and, along the way, finds good friends and discovers the magic of making things grow.

Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden has been loved by generations of children since its first publication in 1912. Now, for the first time, young readers can unlock the mystery of the secret garden with this very special picture book, adapted form Burnett's classic work. Mary Collier's rich, glorious paintings, inspired by the original novel, bring all the magic and wonder of the secret garden glowingly to life.
