A Lovereading4kids 'Great Read' you may have missed 2011 selection.
Best-selling author/illustrator Lydia Monks has a gift for entertaining and dramatic picture books. Babbit, a lovely Blue Rabbit, is happily enjoying a picnic when it is captured by the Witchy One and tied to a tree ready for being chopped into pieces and popped in the cauldron! Will Big and Little One be able to rescue him in time? A great adventure with a perfect tingle of excitement.

Synopsis
Babbit by Lydia MonksMeet Babbit, a garrulous toy bunny who has a startling adventure - that he can't stop rabbiting on about! Picnics, piggy-in-the-middle and evading capture by monsters are all in a day's work for this talkative carrot-lover. But how will his flipperty-floppity day end? This is a stunning new direction for internationally acclaimed illustrator, Lydia Monks.
