We're Looking for the Perfect Hug: A Lift-the-Flap Adventure and perfect Mother's Day gift (The Bunny Adventures)
#6 of 12 in The Bunny Adventures Series
What’s inside...
The bouncy Bunny siblings set off on a joyful journey to find the ‘perfect hug’ to give their mum for Mother’s Day. Lifting sturdy flaps, young readers follow them through meadows, farmyards, forests and seashores where they sample hugs from many animal friends—each delightful yet not quite right. After meeting prickly hedgehogs, squidgy piglets and even a slippery octopus, the bunnies finally discover that the warmest, safest and most perfect hug has been waiting for them at home all along—wrapped in their mother’s loving arms.
