Just What
Does Happen at Night in an Empty Old Shed?
In the dead of night,
when it’s dark and so very quiet that you could hear a pin drop,
what comes alive in Mr. Brownlow’s allotment shed?
This whimsical children’s story tells the
tale of a small shed that’s tucked away in the corner of a busy
allotment. A more sorrowful shed would be hard to find, but it
serves well enough for storing all the tools needed to keep the
allotment tidy and free of weeds.
After the allotment keeper goes home and the
daylight grows dim, a wonderful thing happens inside the
dilapidated shed. All the tools suddenly spring to life! Hose,
Broom, Rake and Spade share many adventures until the sun once
again rises.
But one day, the shed collapses about them,
leaving it up to Watering Can and General Twine to lead all
their friends on a journey to find a new home, where they will
once again find happiness and laughter.
