Synopsis

When someone commands you to do what they want and because it benefits only them, what can you do to stop the bully and their bullying?

In Shirley’s Garden, the inhabitants found themselves being commanded to answer the questions of Rufeus, the high-brow crested pigeon. He found an opportunity to bully them to gain control of their home and decide how they were going to live. Could they stop him?

Mr Toad and Miss Kookaburra fought hard to put their views across, but was Rufeus going to stop his bullying and leave them alone? Was Mr Crow going to learn a lesson, supporting this bully?

The fourth book in the series, ‘Shirley’s Imaginarium,’ takes a look at how ugly bullying is and how one can stand up to the bully. This book also inches closer to uncovering the mystery of what Shirley’s Imaginarium is, and how the garden residents discover it amidst them, in their home in Kiama in Australia.

This is a charming vibrant story with colourful pictures to entice children and parents to delve into a difficult topic in a simple way.
