About this book

Hoppy the rabbit wakes up in his cosy burrow one morning, but the snow is too cold for him to go out; then, the frost is too crunchy under his paws. One day, the smell of Spring is in the air, and Hoppy nibbles the tasty fresh Spring flowers. But when Hoppy finally makes it to the sunny Spring meadow, none of his friends are there. Fortunately, rabbits know how to make a noise and bring all the other rabbits running!

Tim Hopgood delights again with his signature heartwarming and thoughtful approach to concept books for young children. This one, a book about the senses, joins his equally fantastic previous books about colours, counting and shapes. Highly recommended.
