Basil, Rosemary and the Pansy sisters are lively, chatty little plants. They think they know some stuff, but when it comes to this animal, they know nothing. One wild assumption leads to another and gets them into big trouble.
Excerpt from the story:
The Pansy sisters lived in a red flowerpot in the town square. They shared the pot with Basil, Rosemary and Pig.
As irmãs Amor-perfeito viviam num vaso vermelho na praça da cidade. Elas partilhavam o vaso com o Manjericão, a Alecrina e o Porco.
The Pansy sisters had beautiful blue coloured flowers. They looked very good next to the young green plants, Basil and Rosemary.
As irmãs Amor-Perfeito tinham lindas flores de cor azul. Ficavam muito bem ao lado das jovens plantas verdes, o Manjericão e a Alecrina.
Pig was different. Pig was an animal.
O Porco era diferente. O Porco era um animal.
