Description

Robin Robin is a stunning picture book adaptation of the animation from Aardman and Netflix, perfect for Christmas and beyond! When an egg rolls out of its nest and into a rubbish dump, the little robin inside is discovered and raised by a loving family of burglar mice. As Robin grows up, her differences become more obvious and she starts to feel out of place in her mouse family. Not quite a bird and not quite a mouse, but full of determination. Robin sets out on an adventure to prove herself and - just maybe - get a sandwich. Robin Robin: The Official Book of the Film is based on the hit Netflix film from Aardman Animations, creators of Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Morph. This heartwarming story features a cast of unforgettable characters including a treasure-hunting magpie (Richard E. Grant) and a thoroughly villainous cat (Gillian Anderson), and is full of excitement, daring escapades, and Christmas adventure. Featuring gorgeous artwork taken from the handcrafted stop-motion animation, and including lyrics to all the original songs, this charming, warm and witty story is perfect for picture book lovers and animation fans of all ages!
