The Amazing Case of Dr Ward
The Amazing Case of Dr Ward
Jackie Kerin, illustrated by Tull Suwannakit
Here were plants they had never imagined; from places they would never visit.
When you peel a banana, or bite into a pear, when you smell a rose, pop a fuchsia bud or scrape your knee climbing an old pine tree, do you ever wonder how those plants came to this country?
Let me tell you of the amazing case of Dr Ward.
For ages six years and older
