About this listen

A Year in the Big Old Garden is a collection of children’s stories in the spirit of beloved classics by Thornton Burgess and Beatrix Potter. These 12 short stories mix whimsical storytelling with the love and knowledge of backyard wildlife.

Turn waiting rooms, car trips, and bedtimes into moments of enjoyment as you meet animals like Sammy the squirrel, Jasper the chipmunk, and Smudge the rabbit, and follow their adventures through the seasons.

A Year in the Big Old Garden is a gem. Witmer’s stories are sweet and delightful. I enjoyed them as much as my kids did. These short, charming tales are perfect for bedtime or any moment you might wish to welcome your kids into a familiar-feeling fantasy of ordinary, magical creatures in a magical, ordinary world.

The reader did a fantastic job bringing these tales to life on audio. Well worth a listen!

Sweet and Delightful! Perfect for bedtime & beyond
