With my own children I remember dwelling on the endpapers of 'Farmer Duck' (Waddell/Oxenbury) that show the same image but for two different seasons. Plus I adore Laura Dronzek's illustrations in 'When Spring Comes'(2016).<br />Good luck with all your new books, Abie - have enjoyed blogging with you for over five years.Paeony Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129555451791248798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-82609392751127404922017-05-30T07:55:00.899+01:002017-05-30T07:55:00.899+01:00Thanks guys :)

Because we always called it Nicholas Bunny, that title remained in my mind ever after, so the original title got lost. I am thrilled to re-discover it here. Now naybe you can locate the one that began: 'Today was a very funny day'? American, I think, and pure poetry.<br />Enid Richemonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17218197995089241666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-39379105977159286922017-05-24T08:31:19.765+01:002017-05-24T08:31:19.765+01:00Firstly - Fab post as ever.

I hope all goes well and if you ever want to do a post for the den you know where we are. <br /><br />Secondly - My first picture book 'A Book For Bramble' is about a mouse who records what happens over one winter whilst his friend Bramble the hedgehog hibernates. It was written with friendship in mind but thinking about it time passing is also a big part of the story.
