Meet Molly the hare, Olive the owl and Dexter the fox, stars of a delightful new series for toddlers from Kate Greenaway Medal-winning artist Catherine Rayner.
Molly the hare loves hide-and-seek. “You two hide,” she tells Olive the owl and Dexter the fox, and then she begins to count: “5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – ready or not here I come.” But when she opens her eyes, Molly finds the pair straight away! Soon Molly announces Olive and Dexter have to hide properly. Now she has the opposite problem: her friends have hidden too well… Wherever can they be? This is the first in Catherine Rayner’s adorable new picture-book series – delivering the charm of the 100 Acre Wood in an irresistible package for toddlers.

“Catherine Rayner has a marvellous gift for capturing the souls of animals in a few, rich washes of colour.” Daily Telegraph

I have read this book

I like Dexter & olive because they are really good at hiding and Molly couldn’t find them. Molly got upset playing hide & seek because she couldn’t find them, and her friends told her they would never go to far away as they are all best friends. I wouldn’t recommend this book to someone else.

Molly’s favourite game is like me, “Hide and Seek”. The other animals weren’t good at the start, but then they got really good and hid in the tree.

I liked the fox most in the book . It was about a fox, a rabbit and a owl they were scared of the dark. they heard different sounds and then at the end there was a shadow that they thought it was a monster, but it was just a shadow from the rabbit ears. I loved the book.
