'We very much enjoyed this brilliant story and the illustrations are wonderful ... A loveable cheeky bunny to fall in love with and a fantastic page-turning garden adventure. The perfect spring story for bunny loving bookworms' -- Edspire "***** This bunny is for life, not just for Easter... A feel-good bunny story whose appeal will far outlast the Easter weekend... Beautifully, simply told with languid illustrations by Briony May Smith that complement the suspenseful plot." -- Daily Telegraph "I'll begin with the illustrations as they are simply gorgeous! ... The writing is equally as beautiful. ... The narrative develops into a truly heartwarming tale that can't fail to melt the most hardened of hearts.
