All seems to be running smoothly - but when her friends arrive, Rabbit cannot find Mr. Cuddles anywhere, and it''s not fun without him... For a while it looks as though Mr. Cuddles will miss the party after all. But there is a real magician present, so things that have apparently disappeared can be conjured up!

Billedbog. Den lille kanin holder fødselsdag.

Mulligan was a monster. But what kind of monster? Was he SCARY, or MESSY, or CLEVER, or BRAVE? He didn''t know. So he left the forest to find out... Set cleverly against the backdrop of chaotic family life, Mark Birchall''s endearing tale of a monster in search of his identity will delight young children with its repeated refrains and quirky illustrations. Mulligan is an adorable monster, and as with all Birchall''s books the endpapers tell part of the story...

The quality of mercy is stressed in this delightful picture book. In this vibrant, yet tenderly illustrated book, three friends are searching for cherries dropped by birds, when they find an egg in the grass. Weasel is quite happy to have an egg instead of a cherry. “Let’s eat it,” he said. “But it’s so small that it would hardly be worth it,” said Tortoise, who had once been an egg himself. So Tortoise watches over it, and feeds the little chick that emerges, and even manages to persuade Weasel that he should help him fatten it up. Mole finds worms especially for their little protégé. And when at last the bird is fully-grown, even Weasel cannot bring himself to eat her! So she flies off unhindered -- and then she flies back again, with cherries in her mouth.
