The Animals Of Farthing Wood

After their legendary journey out of danger and into the safe haven of White Deer Park, the animals of Farthing Wood look forward to getting used to their new life in the nature reserve.

But winter is drawing in: the nights are colder and food for the animals is scarce. Other animals in the park are unfriendly and want to make trouble, and around the Park there are the perils of hunters' traps, as well as humans and their machines. Will life ever return to normal for the animals of Farthing Wood...?

Reviews

The good old-fashioned adventure romp brought up to date without losing the fun or the thrills

—— Independent

The writing is wonderful and we easily fell into this great storyline! The illustrations are a real treat ... This wonderful little story reassures children ... This is a truly brilliant tale that we will definitely be recommending, reading again and putting on our favourites shelf! A real winner! 4.5/5 stars!

—— Carly , Fiction Fascination blog

With its built-in repetition, the tension builds beautifully in this well-paced story ... Superb, and I specially love the ending.

—— Jill Bennett , Red Reading Hub

It's a lovely story to share with young children, especially those of a nervous disposition who may well see some of their fears allayed.

—— Cheryl Pasquier , Mad House Family Reviews

For tinies, try The House Rabbit with its pretty pale green and lilac, chatty, busy illustrations.

The tension builds beautifully in this well-paced story and cleverly controlled story. Cleverly controlled and patterned too are the suitably sombre illustrations and the fear in rabbit’s eyes is palpable. Superb and I specially love the ending.

—— Jill Bennett , Jill R Bennett's Reviews of Children's Books

The illustration is clean, characterful and beautifully detailed - you can virtually watch those whiskers twitching in alarm. I had the distinct feeling that at any moment The House Rabbit was going to leap right into life, off the page and be running around my feet! This book's a keeper.

—— Doghouse , Amazon

An excellent example of the role that children's literature can play in supporting children's mental health...The House Rabbit gently suggests guided self-management of anxiety through mindful reality checking...I would recommend this book for all children.

—— Simeon Elliott , Wellbeing and Resilience Strategies

Includes plenty of splendid, vocabulary-enhancing verbs such as "streaked", "tottered" and "padded".

—— Susan Elkin , Independent on Sunday

Me and You is a wonderful example of the power of illustrations and how hey can play as important a role as words

—— Nursery Education

Anthony Browne offers a new perspective on an old tale
