Description - Uno's Garden by Graeme Base

Enter the World of Graeme Base's Magical Forest

Enter the world of Graeme Base's forest, filled with wild and wonderful animals, Uno's unique family and friends - and the elusive Snortlepig!
From the creator of Animalia, The Waterhole, and Jungle Drums, this is no ordinary book. It's an illuminating blend of storybook, puzzle book, and numbers book.

When Uno arrives in the forest one beautiful day, there are many fascinating and extraordinary animals there to greet him. And one entirely unexceptional Snortlepig.

Uno loves the forest so much, he decides to live there. But, in time, a little village grows up around his house. Then a town, then a city . . . and soon Uno realises that the animals and plants have begun to disappear . . .
