Illustrated by
Flavia Gág.
Illustrator Wanda loves to draw the vegetables in the family's beautiful garden, all laid out in choice patterns and with due regard for colors. But woodchucks Pudgy and Charles also love the garden--and they know all the tricks for getting in. In this cheery book, readers are shown the many ways that the tender-hearted Gág family tries to rid itself of the hungry guests.

In this admiring biography, Wanda Gág, best known for her Newbery Honor–winning book Millions of Cats, emerges as a single-minded and passionate artist. Using research from "a treasure trove" of Gág's diaries and other documents, Ray describes her subject's difficult childhood and rise to success. Textured paintings will engage readers' imaginations, transporting them back to the first half of the twentieth century. Bib.
