Reviews / Votes
'A charming story of friendship, night-time adventure and friendship can now be enjoyed by another generation of young children who, if they have loved this title will be pleased to know that they can enjoy more charming pop-up adventures in Little Grey Rabbit's Busy Day.' * Armadillo Magazine * 'Some children's book characters have an enduring appeal which spans many generations, and LGR is one of those. The feel of the original has been carefully preserved, with both text and illustrations being close to the originals. A delightful gentle story with pop up pictures which will delight little ones' * Parents in Touch * 'This is a cute little hardback. A timeless tale accompanied beautifully by a pop-up scene on each page. Lilly really likes this book - firstly because of the bunny and secondly because of the pop-up scenes, which help her relate to the written story and finally because 'the bunny 's friends love her!'. The book is a small hardback, ideal for little hands and robust too! On the whole it's a charming book that would also make a beautiful gift.' * Bookapoet * 'From the cut-out front cover through to the final page, she was completely engrossed. [...] The gorgeously detailed illustrations in their soft colours reminded me of Beatrix Potter's style.' * Guardian Online * 'attractive pop-ups at each turn of a page bringing a new dimension to this charming little story.' * The Independent on Sunday *More details
