Spring is in the air in Catch That Egg! and there’s a flurry of baby animals including Floppit and his gigantic furry bunny feet bouncing off the pages. This stunning bloom-filled picture book has been written by Lucy Rowland, illustrated by Anna Chernyshova and published by Macmillan.
Floppit’s farmyard friends have had enough of his enormous bunny feet and their constant tapping, jumping and bouncing
“Stop it, Floppit!” they sigh, every time he comes bouncing by, but his big clumsy feet might just save the day when Chicken’s egg runs away! From sleepy little lambs and calves taking their firsts steps to pigs in magnificent Easter bonnets everyone pulls together in the end to help Floppit catch up with the troublesome run away egg.
A charming farmyard romp full of the joys of spring and perfect for sharing over and over again.
We’re certainly hoping the the Easter Bunny delivers books as well as eggs this year so hurry up, catch your copy today and avoid disappointing any hot-cross-book-loving-bunnies.
