Have you ever woken up from a nap feeling a little peckish for adventure?
When Oscar the Rabbit is rudely awoken by his grumpiest and very best friend, McTavish, he insists they go on a trek.
The two have very different ideas about what makes for a good adventure, but nonetheless, the Scottish rabbit hops behind his friend through the prickly brambles, over the hillock, past the Kingdom of the Queen Bee, all the way to a cornfield across the river.
There, they find unexpected treasure …
Excellent snacks …
And a loud, scary, corn-eating monster … also known as a combine harvester.
This story of friendship and fun is sure to bring laughter when read aloud to children ages 3–5, but also works brilliantly for early school readers. Perfect for fans of Winnie the Pooh and The Gruffalo!
