When you open a book parcel and see the shimmering scarlet foiled binding of a board book, somehow you just know it’s almost Christmas! This is a dear little book that will make a perfect stocking stuffer for any Small of your acquaintance.
It is a simple little story, but beautifully expressed, exquisitely illustrated and strikingly presented.
Peter and his sisters are decorating the Xmas tree, but cannot find the star to go a-top. Undaunted, they set about making one and do a fine job of it, but then Flopsy’s hops accidentally cause a disaster. But Peter, being the caring big brother he is, comforts the little sisters and encourages them to have another go.
When Mrs Cottontail comes home, she places the new star on the top of the tree, for a perfect rabbit family Xmas.
It really is sweet, and I think that if you have a new baby in the family, or any Littles under 2 or 3, it would make a perfect Christmas cracker of a gift. A very lovely addition to any Xmas stocking, I recommend it for any of your tiny humans – I just wish you could see it’s sparkling cover via this medium!
