Murgatroyd's Garden

Murgatroyd was happy when his parents finally gave up trying to wash his hair … until a magnificent garden began to grow on his head.

Murgatroyd hated, hated, hated having his hair washed. When his parents tried his screams were so loud they could be heard everywhere! So they stopped washing his hair, and a magnificent garden began to grow on his head.

•Murgatroyd’s Garden won Honour Book, Picture Book of the Year, at the Children’s Book Council of Australia Awards in 1987.
