Narrated by author Mary Ann Hoberman, this iconographic-animated adaptation of her 2004 picture book (illustrated by Jane Dyer) is geared towards ages 3 and up. Mother Mrs. McGee and her toddler's innocent stroll through an exceptional garden turns into a spirited debate when the latter asks the title question regarding ownership. From the human gardener (who does the planting) to the rabbit (who gets his dinner for free) to various insects (with their own roles, such as pollination) to weeds to the sun and the rain, Whose Garden Is It? explores how a garden's ecosystem is interconnected, combining rhyming verses, cool creatures (anthropomorphized by hats and other accessories), and sound effects, all in support of the underlying message that working together benefits everyone. Highly recommended. Aud: K, E, P. (J. Williams-Wood)
