The Letterpress Project
This is another great book in the series following those vehicle loving bunnies… I love the detail in the illustrations, there are so many little things to spot in each image… The story and illustrations together make for such fun reading… it’s now my favourite in the series so far.
The Strawberry Post
One read of this book and the rhyme will stick in your head forever… I laughed. I laughed the second time. And I can only imagine that young readers will have this book on repeat year in, year out. Ardagh gets the story spot on.
