Each creature in the garden has something special to offer, but what about a slug? Slow, slimy and greedy, Herbert wishes he could weave shimmering webs like spiders, or create wonderful underground worlds like ants. But in this story for readers 4 to 8—illustrated in a folksy style by Lara Hawthorne—when his lonely night-time wanderings through the garden take him up into the treetops, Herbert and the other creatures are astonished at the beauty he has created.
