Synopsis

When Hare spots a lady painting him in the fields, he can't wait to see her sketchbook. Everyone is fascinated to see themselves on the pages, but can they paint a picture that's just as good?

Since their first publication in 1929, the Little Grey Rabbit stories have captured the hearts of many and become children's classics. Beautifully told by Alison Uttley and brought to life by Margaret Tempest's charming illustrations, these stories enchant children and adults alike. For over 80 years, generations of children have grown up reading the adventures of Little Grey Rabbit, Squirrel, Hare and all their animal friends.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

One evening, Hare rushes home with news of a party he's seen – little Grey Rabbit and Squirrel hurry out to take a look at the wonderful sight, and return home determined to have their own party...

But how do you throw a party? Armed with Wise Owl's 'how to give a party' book, the preparations begin.

There are Forfeits, and Invitations, and Thimbles, and RSVP and Iced Cake to remember. Hare takes charge of Turn the Trencher, and little Grey Rabbit busies herself writing invitations. Then there is food to prepare – what a mixing, stirring and tasting!

Finally the guests arrive in their best clothes, and the fun begins. Even Wise Owl enjoys himself...though he doesn't quite play by the rules of Hunt the Thimble!

AGE 4-8 as well as adults who will remember Little Grey Rabbit from their own childhoods.
