If you haven’t yet met the Bunnies of Hoppity Hill, you’re in for a treat.
In this charming lift-the-flap adventure, our bunnies set off in search of the perfect hug. Across the fields they go, past dragonflies and buzzing bees, asking all the right questions. Could it be a prickly hug? Peek beneath the leaves by the wheelbarrow and you’ll find hedgehogs curled together. Perhaps a woolly hug? Lift the flap under the bushes to discover two sheep in a soft embrace.
The search continues through the barn for something fluffy – but wait, who’s that outside? A cautious peek behind the curtain reveals a fox, adding just the right touch of surprise. Along the way, the bunnies encounter all kinds of hugs, from gentle to snappy, each revealed through interactive flaps that invite little hands to explore.
And when they finally return home, the answer is waiting. Behind the branches of their treehouse lies the perfect hug of all – one shared with friends.
Warm, playful and engaging, this is a delightful read that celebrates curiosity, connection and the many forms a hug can take.
Don’t miss the other books in the series – there are plenty to choose from, and each one
is just as much fun, earning its place on any child’s bookshelf.
