Will you be my friend? by Sam McBratney

Are there any more endearing characters for our youngest readers that Big Nutbrown Hare and Little Nutbrown Hare, from the classic Guess How Much I Love You?

In this new story from the same team, Little Nutbrown Hare goes exploring on his own looking for a new friend to play with. When he comes across his reflection and then his shadow, he is not fooled and continues till he comes to Cloudy Mountain where a little white hare is waiting. They have a lovely time together until they play hide-and-seek and there is a misunderstanding. Both hide and wait for the other to seek until it is time to go home for tea. Will Little Nutbrown Hare find his friend again?

In board book format, perfect for little hands, this is a charming story about being curious, making new friends and playing together that will delight our youngest readers.
