About
A funny awakening in the garden! The fruits, vegetables, and all the flowers have lost their foliage. "But who could have nibbled on our beautiful leaves?" Lilou and her friend Ficelle the scarecrow try to solve this mystery.
Who is the greediest? The rabbit, the rooster, the hedgehog, the snail, the ladybug, or that mischievous caterpillar...
In a soft and very colorful atmosphere, Lilou, the little gardener, helps us discover the flowers and vegetables of her garden as well as her little friends, animals, and insects commonly found in country gardens (plush hand puppets). This tale, staged in a very lively way and punctuated by nine nursery rhymes, encourages children to see nature differently and realize the necessity of respecting it.
