Some comments about the Griffin... "Elsa charmed us with CYNTHIA...and does so again with A GRIFFIN IN THE GARDEN. Her imagination and wit are matched this time by Daste's humorous and handsome illustrations." (Robert Hale, review) "I like this book. It's very funny." (young critic, International School in Stuttgart) "I've had to read this story to my daughter about a thousand times." (a mother in Indiana) "I know this book by heart. My grandsons make me read it every time I see them." (Robert Hale, personal comment) |

Gregory tries one tactic after another . . . and finally discovers the secret. SOME QUESTIONS TO TALK ABOUT . . . What would you do if you found a griffin in your back yard?
